The objective is to shuttle robots from planet to planet collecting fares while managing fuel. Fly up to a planet, enter the atmosphere then use thrust against gravity to descend gently to the surface. You can lose by crashing into the planet surface, destroying robots during landing or going bankrupt. Beware of rogue asteroids. Controls: [Left] [Right] - Rotate [Up] or [Space] - Thrust #games #gravitar #arcade
I created this games within two weeks of being introduced to Scratch. In the first day, I wrote a couple of rudimentary apps to learn the basics. One of those first apps was a Bouncing Balls app attempting to simulate gravity. In the coming days, I applied those lessons to this game. It is loosely inspired by an Atari arcade game from the 80's called Gravitar. I revised the interplanetary portion to create a pseudo-3D look with objects moving between foreground and background. Not intended to be a true 3D simulation, but works for the purposes of this game. I used only graphics provided by Scratch, although some are manipulated a bit using the costume editor. #games #gravitar #arcade
