This software is a fun arcade space shooter that is both free and open source.
As a free 2D-space arcade game, Shooty is a simple yet engaging game like many others that you might have seen before. However, this game was developed using pygame / SDL, making it a great introduction to game development. The development team was able to finish the game in just a weekend and another weekend was dedicated to polishing it.
In Shooty, you take control of a spaceship that is being attacked by swarming aliens while on his way back from Proxima 6 to Riegel 5. Your mission is to fend off the enemies by pressing the left / right arrow keys to control the movement and the spacebar to shoot. As you progress through the game, you will have to defeat multiple types of enemies, including the boss, while enjoying the music from "The Rapture" beats.
The game has a total of five challenging levels that promise to keep you hooked for hours. Also, it is cross-platform, meaning you can play it on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. It has been tested under Mac OS X 10.5, Windows XP, and Ubuntu Feisty.
The controls for Shooty are straightforward and intuitive. Simply use the left / right arrows to move, the spacebar to shoot, enter to respond when prompted to confirm the loss of a life or when you've cleared the level, and ESC to exit the game.
To get started with Shooty, you need to extract the files and run the "run_game.py" file. Overall, Shooty is an excellent game for those looking for a quick and easy experience, and it is especially ideal for those who want to try their hand at game development.
