Space Flight is a game I created over the summer of 2025, and it was primarily a personal test of my coding skills. But when I showed it to a bunch of friends, they absolutely loved it. So, I posted it for everyone to see.
The plot of the game is very basic: survive an onslaught of asteroids and outlast the boss at the end. It is a very simple and understandable plot. The style of the game is a simplified bullet-hell game with a graphic style of the Game Boy Advance from 2001.
Space Flight is a really tough game, so it might take a while to beat it fully. But that is where the unique part is: healing. The player has three lives, so they can only get hit three times. But, they have five heals, indicated by green plusses at the top left. A heal takes the player back to full lives, regardless of how many they have.
The boss is meant to be a challenge of strategy and movement, shooting itself across the screen as it shoots projectiles in random directions. The main objective is to survive its final attack: the only attack where getting hit is 100% guaranteed and unavoidable. After the boss is defeated, the player is shown a scene of the now-safe night sky from the view of a forest on Earth.
