Astro Heart

Astro Heart is an auto battler game where vessels are programmed with a simple visual language.

This game is inspired by a Carnage Heart game.

How to play:

• Choose suitable equipment for the level at Hardware screen
• Configure your vessel behavior at Software screen
• Test your Hardware+Software combo in battle
  • If you win, the level advances
  • If you lose, repeat the steps until your bot wins

Astro Heart is a Ludum Dare 55 prototype that needs to be polished later.
Created in 2 days (LD compo) from scratch.

Made with Ebitengine.

Some hints:

• Hover over any UI element to get tooltips
• There are 6 levels in total (the final boss is at level 6)
• You unlock more hardware options with levels
• Vessels get damaged while flying out-of-bounds

Level 6 is beatable, but it's very tough and it will require some luck. It's intended to be a final challenge that allows you to play the game for longer (because the first 5 enemies are not that complicated).

Tools used:

• MilkyTracker (music)
• sfxr (sound effects)
• Aseprite and GIMP
• VSCodium
• Ebitengine (game engine for Go)
