A simple medley of two classic top-down shooters.

In one of our portfolio classes, a group of students and I were prompted to build a quick prototype based on a predetermined selection of game genres set within a state machine built by our instructors. We chose “topdown” for our challenge. Immediately, we decided that the best use of our time was to create an arcade style shooter. Inspired heavily by Galaga and Ikaruga, Spectroid reflects two weeks of effort.
