This week's update brings the particle effects, some changes to gameplay and some tweaks to keyboard controls. Bullets will blow up on contact, stars will explode and large stars now can spawn up to 3 smaller ones upon death and the spawn rate is increased. With this slight difficulty increase I've also added some new ranks and I've tried to improve the feel of keyboard controls. Update log entry in the README: Update 0.9.3: - Game: Added Particle System - Game: Added Thrust Exhaust - Game Added more ranks - Enemies: Increased small enemy spawn chances on large enemy death - Enemies: Increased possible spawn number of small enemies on large enemy death - Input: Increased Horizontal input gravity for buttons

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.

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.
