SPACEBAR
A downloadable game for Windows
Earth is under siege. The year is 2030. Unknown UFOs have invaded our solar system, shattering asteroids and hurling chaos toward our planet. Volcanoes erupt, cities burn, and the mothership looms ever closer.
You are ASTRO, a combat AI with lightning‑fast reflexes. Your mission: Pilot the most advanced fleet of spacecraft and survive the onslaught, destroy the space rocks, and repel the alien fleet before Earth collapses.
About the game:
This game was created using Unity 5.6. Rock assets were acquired from the Unity Asset
Store and modified as asteroids. Player ships were sourced from Quaternius, while
mothership and UFO models came from OpenGameArt.org. Sound effects and music
came from OpenGameArt.org and Kenny.nl. Coding was assisted, corrected, and
refactored using Claude AI and DeepSeek AI. Icons were hand‑drawn, enhanced with
Copilot, and re‑edited using GIMP. All third‑party assets are under CC0 license, with
attribution provided in the Credits screen.
The compiled build is distributed for play only. Source code is proprietary and not
open‑sourced. Assets, icons, and story elements are original to this project unless
otherwise noted.
