Scarlet Storm
A downloadable game for Windows
This game was made completely in C++ using Vulkan Graphics API! You are on a dangerous mission to fly a state of the art "Liquid Metal" probe to Jupiter to gather scientific data... The probe can rearrange itself to form a
1. Propeller (Gain Altitude)
2. Glider (No Change, Default)
3. Spoiler (Lose Altitude)
The aim is to keep the probe centered with the green path circle which will keep on fluctuating
The up arrow changes the probe to Propeller mode and down arrow to Spoiler mode. Press nothing to remain in Glider mode
Avoid Obstacles and maintain your path as you rip through Jupter's Great Red Spot (one of the most intense storms) raging for the last 4.5 billion years...
And if you like it, or at least appreciate the countless hours of efforts put into it, then please rate the game. Remember, this is not your average "Unity" or "Unreal" game where everything is setup and ready. Everything was built from scratch in C++
BUG Alert: Please restart the game (close and rerun exe) everytime you wish to play again... The reset mechanism has a weird bug that causes game over under incorrect situations. Currently debugging the same!

Just tried out the game. I like the graphics and the concept. I see your video says you will be adding score and whatnot eventually. Those will make the game a lot more engaging for the player since they will have some sense of their progress.
In addition to those though, I think a nice spacey music track in the background would add a lot to the feel of it.
Great job!
I think this would make a great song for the game:
free for personal and commercial useThank you so much for your suggestion, will try to add the score feature soon
Very true. Thank you for your feedback. Vulkan does have its downside that it is a pure graphics API... Will have to include wnmeapi.h or directx audio for music and given the jam time, it was unfeasible
P.S: The olc soundwave is incompatible without pge use
