Redd’s Airship Adventure
During my time at Futuregames online course for learning Gamemaker Sudios 2. For my second game project that started in January 2022, I decided to make another game based on Redd’s Adventure. But this time in the sky!
Small Gifs of how the Game Prototype gameplay was in Gamemaker Studios 2.
What is this prototype game about?
In this Game Prototype Project, you will play as Redd in his Airship who needs to get to the exit of the 2 playable levels, by getting as many treasures as score and defeating the enemy spaceships! However you are now able to play this game with a friend on the same keyboard who will control Bluee with his Airship sharing lives as you try to get to the exit together!
Both levels and the Tutorial level are playable as single player and co-op mode.
Since both players will use the same keyboard to play this game. Player one will use WASD and Space to shoot while player two will use the arrow keys and Enter to shoot.
Power Ups
Besides getting to the exit to beat the level, there are also different types of power ups that could be good or bad for the player to collect! From the previous game I was only able to add one type of power up, so this time I wanted to have many more that changed how you played the game!
For most of these power up orbs I wanted the player to transform into something else! One power up might transform you into a UFO that shoots in all eight directions or a Dragon that shoots fire randomly?
Other bad power ups might leave the player unable to fire bullets for a short while or getting bigger in size which makes you a bigger target!
Enemies.
A game without enemies would make this game quite simple to play! From Redd’s Prototype Adventure, I only had 4 types of enemies. Three of which were different versions of the Slime Shell! So for this game, I also wanted to add many more enemies!
Now all of the enemies are not the same type of enemies. Some of them are Idle while some might shoot bullets against you! Some might even follow the player's location and some might even explode other things when you kill them.
And some of the later stages of the level might introduce quicker or harder enemies to kill if you want some of that higher score bonus!
Lastly, in coop mode. There might be some enemies that will only target Player 1 & Player 2.
