It’s all right. If you collect enough upgrades it becomes fun! I managed to complete levels 1 and 2, failed at level 3. I’d say the most fun for me was trying to collect all the upgrades at once to watch the screen light up with bullets.
Needs more player feedback: did I just hit that asteroid or did I miss? No idea.
The controls are a bit sluggish.
The color palette could be better.
Overall, good job!
You can simplify your rng by using global randomize(). Then you won’t have to remember to create a new random generator, and you can generate random stuff with randi_range() instead of rng.randi_range(). That is, if you don’t need several differently-seeded random generators.
Couldn’t read through the whole code because of messed up formatting.
Gnome-Software and GDebi can do exactly that for you. Download a deb, right click “open with X”, and they’ll install it for you using GUI. You can even change file associations so debs are opened by gdebi/gnome-software by simple double-clicking.
Found the place. It was here:
Wall jumping was intuitive enough, I’m just bad at timing the jumps. Got stuck further in the level, after doing a few wall-jumping sections, so maybe I just hadn’t encountered the bug you are talking about yet.
Congrats on releasing it! Great result for a game made in a week.
I did give it a try even though I’m not great at jumping. With a controller (the game does support a controller 👍) I managed to get a bit farther, but still failed, hah.
A small trick I use to give spacey backgrounds more life is to plop a Particles2D node with tiny-twinkling-floating particles. Takes little effort but improves things a lot. Would be fitting for a space game.
I also think the game would work well as an HTML5 game. Itch supports those, and they’re more convenient and accessible since they don’t require players to download EXE files. People tend to be skittish about downloading things.
Shader baker on export! Really, really nice. I wonder how much build size will increase though.

World of Warcraft plugins and Awesome WM configs. There are some decent 2d game engines that use Lua too, like Love2d!
Because, uh… we here in the 3D world like a little bit of pain.
Same here. I’ve been suspended on Reddit and haven’t heard back on my appeals in over four months. Like, all I did was talk about gamedev, post pixel art, and share my free games when/where appropriate. Got site-wide ban after posting my game in a “Weekly Self-Promotion Thread” created by mods.
Lemmy is alright. Communities are smaller, of course, but its growing. Welcome!
The official ones (“your first 2D game” and “your first 3D game”) are quite good and to the point - they are already linked in the thread. GDQuest is also nice, I remember them having this whole in-depth interactive course.
Usually tutorials are in GDScript, so I’d go with that. Plus, according to a recent poll, about 80% of Godot users actually use GDScript over C#.
