Sky Scorcher

This game is created for the 2023 Aviator Arcade Game Jam.

Made with Unity Personal Edition 5.6.5.

This game is largely intended to recapture my own    impressions of seeing Zaxxon in the arcade for the first time.

The gameplay is basically the same as the 1981 Sega arcade classic. Maneuver your aircraft through enemy fortifications, destroying as many objects as possible, whilst avoiding enemy rockets and projectiles.

Fuel supply is limited, which (like in the  original    Zaxxon) can only be replenished by destroying enemy fuel cannisters. 

Controls:

Arrow Keys	movement
Space Bar	fire

All assets (comprising artwork, sprites, textures, meshes, sound effects, and music) are completely original, with the exception of the following sound files:

• "Machine Gun Bullet Ricochet On Concrete" - Series 6000 Library Extension 1
• "Cold Wind- Distant Subtle Howling" - Soundstorm Library

updates:

• I've added a functional download that works correctly this time, and furthermore enables to option to abort gameplay during the course of a level by pressing the 'ESC' key.
• Following one player's suggestion, I've incorporated a raycast marker (designated by red flashing crosshairs) denoting the player's current firing/flight path. These should ease  the aiming and maneuvering process.
• fixed  bug that enabled player to obtain altitudes beyond intended limitation.
