Updates for Space Drifters 2D. This update adds a new enemy to the Endless Mode, improves Race Selection, Menu Navigation, scoring, and also flight controls. From the feedback I’ve had I’ve realised many use primarily the RCS* (right stick of xbox controller) to thrust around whereas it’s intended to be used for trajectory adjustments and moving side to side, so currently forward and backward RCS has been disabled and in one of the next updates I’ll make two options for RCS: ‘simple’ and ‘full’. While you can still bind axes to vertical RCS, the input will not affect flight. As for the new enemy, it’s a new addition to the Unstable Star family, that shoots projectiles. These projectiles will track you like the stars do and instead of dealing damage it will disable shields and impede movement for a few seconds. This new enemy isn’t a frequent as any of the others, and I’ve not changed any of the other spawn rates to accommodate it, but over the next few updates your feedback will help me balance it. Update log entry in the README: Update 0.6.2: - Endless: Added Medium Unstable Star - Race: Added planet course selection slider - Race: Added ability to choose number of laps - MainMenu: Improved navigation - Game: Disabled forward an backward RCS to encourage use of main thruster - Game: changed Endless scoring Update 0.6.1: - Bugfix: Race: Second player wasn’t triggering end lap - Bugfix: Race: Left and Right sides were being cut on lower resolutions - Bugfix: Race: Planet circuit was being picked by RNG

Space Drifters 2D
is a top down space shooter with Newtonian physics style movement.
Made in the Unity engine with graphics and controls reminiscent of Asteroids with the added benefit of a local co-op and multiple versus modes.
Demo build available for download here

Game Modes:
- Solo / Co-Op Endless
The Universe is collapsing, space is shrinking and you are the last pilot(s) in the universe. Survive as long as you can against 3 types of enemies. As time goes by more and more enemies will get closer to you, and no matter where you move to because space is shrinking everything will always be getting closer.
- Versus
Why does it seem the Universe is so Matter biased? Shouldn't matter and anti-matter be created equaly? ...What if Matter and Anti-Matter fought it out in the early Universe?
Defeat your opposite to claim you position in the Universe!
- Hold The Flag
Another way Matter and Anti-Matter could triumph is be gaining mass. Pick up the Higgs Boson (flag) and hold it until the timer runs out. Holding the Boson however stop you from being able to shoot, so you must focus on dodgeing you enemies fire as he tried to destroy you and claim the Higgs Boson.
