Kinetic Assault - Barrett Games

[Eddie K]

This thread is for the discussion of Kinetic Assault. (note to developer - send me a private message if you would like to edit this thread)

A large and dangerous Meteor Storm is headed towards Earth and you are the only one who can stop it! Using a powerful Kinetic Reactor, you pilot your Kinetic satellite to deflect the Meteors off into space. The Kinetic Reactor in your satellite convert the Kinetic Energy from Meteor impacts into Shield Energy. You must continue to deflect Meteors to maintain your energy levels. The Meteor Storm is not entirely natural. It seems someone or some.. thing wants Earth out of the way. Be careful! They know you're out there, they know about the Kinetic Reactor and they have deployed countermeasures to drain your power.

I just released an update to my game Kinetic Assault.

I tried to make Kinetic Assault feel like a retro style arcade type game - complete with 2D graphics, bad music, and a giant picture of the planet earth. What more could one ask for? (don't answer that.

The object of the game is to get high score by deflecting meteors back into space while avoiding alien counter-measures. Each time you deflect a meteor, the kinetic force of the impact adds power to your Kinetic Shields and increases your score. Your Kinetic Shield energy drains away continuously. Deflecting meteors is the only way to replenish your Kinetic Energy.

You control the speed at which you move left and right using the Left Axis control. When impacting a Meteor, your speed will determine the speed and direction of the deflected Meteor. When a deflected meteor hits another meteor, they explode (I wouldn't have it any other way! . Exploding meteors add to your score but do not add power to your Kinetic Shields.



The changes I have made in v1.0.3 include:

new graphics
new entities.
improved controls
New documentation screen.
Faster game play
I made all the sound effects, music, graphics myself. I think the only thing that was photographed was the rock I used as the basis for the Meteor sprite. Let me know what you think and thanks for looking!
