Astroguard!

Author Comments

You are a space bodyguard (aka. an Astroguard) and have been tasked with protecting the companion ship with the president of the entire galaxy, Mr. Jo "Ema" Ma. For the purposes of a fun game (definitely not a plothole im too lazy to explain away), your ship has been outfitted with an impenetrable shield and a simple fast firing turret while the companion ship has no defenses but has a radial shot as a backup weapon which takes 10 seconds to charge. On your way to the annual Intergalactic Candice Round Table, the president has come under attack, perpetrated by the evil Dr. Hamood Isapalin Drome. Protect the president at all costs! (A Game Made For GDevelop Jam 2)

I'm pretty sure it's impossible not to shoot the ship and kill all the enemies, but it's kinda fun trying to last as long as possible.

graphicmismatch responds:

yep, its about evasion too (atleast until the special attack is charged)! Glad you enjoyed the game!

it has really awful control somereason... ship turns really choppy, and i can't barely protect tiny ship, did you intend it? also right click doesn't do anything

graphicmismatch responds:

hey! the control scheme was intentional; also i too noticed the choppiness, i thought it was just because of my tor proxy; ill look into it, especially since the itch.io version doesnt seem to have this strange problem. and yeah, the tiny ship is supposed to be hard to defend (since the main ship is indestructible) also the right click attack has a 10 second cooldown! thanks for playing!

the president does not have the smartest movement system, if a rocket is right behind him, you cant reach it. nice concept tho

graphicmismatch responds:

yeah, the president has a very basic movement system, i let the president's ship have a special attack for that use case exactly, though i do think letting the president have some level of decision making would be fun too! thanks!
