Escape from Andromeda is an overhead 2D sci-fi spaceship looter shooter based in a procedurally generated galaxy. In Escape from Andromeda, every planet is a level, and every star is a part of your story.

The game is currently in an Alpha state. I am still adding new features.
Features currently in the game:
-A new procedurally generated galaxy is created on each new save
-All ships and weapons are procedurally generated
-Intense, top-down ship to ship combat influenced by planet heat (based on closeness to the system star), procedural weapon and ship variety, asteroids, and miniboss events.
-Complex block-based damage system factoring in projectile type, size, and speed
-Different ship pieces hold different traits, such as more/less speed, more/less HP
-Solar system seeds that determine planet size/color and enemy equipment/behavior
-Breakable asteroids with realistic physics; they can serve as obstacles and cover. You can also push them towards enemies and cause massive damage
-Space station invasions with procedurally placed turrets, ships and minibosses
-Ship and weapon marketplaces with procedurally generated assets. You can buy and sell items at these
-The ability to change ships and weapons
-Ship and weapon stats UI with easy-to-read statistics indicators
-Special abilities based on race
-End-match loot with multiple different weapon rarities
-A player character with clothing color customization
-Faction affinity with your chosen faction; you have the option to invade friendly systems but will lose affinity with your faction which affects interactions at space stations
-A high score system displayed by a reputation bar and status; your high score is saved into the name of your save
-Heavy metal procedurally generated OST with orchestral backtones that dynamically ramps up and ramps down based on what's going on in the game
-Shrapnel explosions that can cause collateral kills and killchains
-Credit management system
-Fuel management system
