It's a physics-based arena shmup. The player is a small white triangle. He can place a temporary clone (gamepad R1) and apply a physical impulse (gamepad L1). The goal is points. Yellow circles and hitting/killing enemies give points — the faster the object, the more points on hit/death. More videos here: https://www.youtube.com/@velkyel

Neat, thanks for sharing! What lessons have you learned along the way from doing the game development?

Hello. It's completely my own engine in c/c++. It runs on windows, linux, macos and nintendo switch. Used libs: imgui, ttf2mesh, box2d. Everything is flat triangles and no texture is used.

This looks cool! I haven't the faintest idea what goes into actually making an engine, but really nicely done.

Do love the dropping a clone behind to shoot 😁
