In-game UI
Tunnel Loop
Exhaust color changes upon acceleration
Shoot Dem Bots is a space shooter game that is set in a sci-fi environment. You woke up in the wrong territory and there's only one way out: escape. Killing the set amount of bots in each level will grant you the ticket to enter the tunnel loop. Your movement will be constrained once you run out of time or health, and you only have the time up until sunrise, so Hurry up!
I used a spreadsheet to keep track of the game elements and ensure that the game has a good play design and a smooth difficulty ramp. (Players, Procedures, Rule, Objectives, Resources, Conflict, Boundary, Outcome)The sheet also contains the data of game elements like AI-Bots damage, distance threshold, and...etc. I have personally play tested those levels and designed the duration accordingly to the average of my results.

After several rounds of play testing, I've created my "quart shooting" system with a custom offset. Each re-load will generate four bullets that will seamlessly connect in play.
The offset also helps stop the player from spamming the keyboard to shoot bullets.
