Black Hole - A Classic Arcade Dual-Stick Space Shooter - INDIEGOGO Crowdfunding start

[Rhellik]

The official thread is here.

Hi,

we've just started on a new project for the OUYA using the Unity3D engine. The working title right now is "Black Hole".
It will be an arcade style dual-stick shooter in space, think Super Stardust HD, only in 2D space.

You have to get to the center of the black holes to harvest the valuable Unobtainium.
But you have to fight your way to it through multiple levels of debris, rocks and whatever else is hidden in the veil of the black holes.

UPDATE:
We will be bringing a pure demo version of the game to the OUYA store soon. Stay tuned!

Will it be available on the 28th?

[Rhellik]

To answer your original question, yes there will be enemy ships as well. They will try to ram you or shoot you.

We probably won't be able to finish it till the 28th. Since we won't receive the OUYA until april, right now our goal is to get it finished before the official release of the console in June.

We have now considerably updated the art and put in a black hole.
Please check out the new screenshots in the first post or the Demo link to see for yourself.

Edit: You can now choose between 3 different ships. Only the Primary Weapon changes though, yet. Secondary weapon will come soon.

We have added all the pickups and weapons for each ship, including the hyper charge. Finally the game has progressed enough to present our first gameplay video.

Looks pretty slick, Rhellik. Are there bosses?

[Rhellik]

Thanks!
Yes, we are planning different kinds of enemies and also bosses. We're not sure on how many, yet. But bosses are definitely a must in this game.

Awesome news. I really need a Ouya... Honestly, don't even know if I'll have the funds to get one if my train keeps going on the same track. I've been having financial issues...

Save me a copy, dude

Those look amazing! What program are you using? Also, if you die do you lose your upgrades?
