StellarF(x): infinite space shooting game

Hi, I’ve been working on this game for quite a while
Instead of shooting bullets, you can either shoot linear graphs or missiles
Your goal is to take out the enemy mothership (battleship-carrier hybrid) by destroying all of it’s turrets
Beware of the enemy fighters, don’t let them swarm you

This is what I have right now

Key Features

  • fire mathematical graphs at enemies
  • use the “proton sword” to sweep over enemies and lock missiles on them
  • featured replay and highscore system

There are three bars to the bottom left: shield, hull and energy.
When you take damage, first your shield drains, then your hull goes down. Game over when hull reaches 0.
You spend energy when using abilities.

There’s still a lot of work to do before the game is actually complete, currently there’s only one level and two types of weapons.

Planned Features

  • multiple levels, greater variety of enemies
  • upgrade and loadout system
  • ability to fire sin,cos,tan graphs

I would really like some feedback as to how I can improve the gameplay, as well as whether you guys think the concept of a math-themed space shooter will work out :slight_smile:
and kudos to Mario Zechner for the awesome LibGDX framework
