Take to the skies and wipe out the steel birds that plague the sky.

  • Z/X: Zoom Camera
  • Space: Pause/Unpause

This project was done for a game jam and was completed in a little over a week. We used DragonRuby as well as the FelFlame ECS Library. The game uses boids to simulate the steel wings flying around the map. You can view source code here: https://github.com/realtradam/SteelWings

Nice little game! When you die, it might be interesting to even add a restart button. It will make me next gaming starting that little bit faster :)

Nice game! I like the art. I would suggest some sort of Object Pooling to avoid the lag when the bullets are created. You could do some power ups would be nice like rapid fire.
