Description
Screen shake, knockback, hit-stops, vfx — all are important in developing a good "feel" for a game, which can dramatically improve a user's experience. This prototype was a culmination of a semester of tweaks to a spaceship sim in order to perfect look and feel techniques.

- Destroying the main space station will summon a large boss.
- Holding fire on the large ship long enough will fire an alternate powerful cannon.
- The small fighter converts most of its velocity while turning allowing it to behave more like a fighter jet than a large ship. The larger the ship, the more it will "drift" when turning.
- Getting burned will result in an overheated debuff that prevents weapons from firing. Likewise, getting irradiated will deal damage over time to the player ship.
