Project Phoenix


Project Phoenix  is a top down spaceship combat game where you must navigate your experimental prototype battleship through a hostile asteroid field to reach a warp gate and escape to your home world with this prototype ship intact. Your enemies will overwhelm you, but you have a special advantage that will get you through the worst battles ahead!

Controls:

  • Mouse Axis - Move and steer the ship
  • Left Mouse Button - Boost or select target
  • Right Mouse Button - Launch a missile (mouse over them first)
  • Mouse Wheel - Zoom camera in / out
  • Space Bar - Boost

Tips:

  • Your ship has four types of weapons: Turrets, Broadsides, Missiles, Fighters
  • Each weapon system unlocked at different upgrade tiers
  • There are three icons above your HUD bars indicating which weapons available
  • When available, the missile icon will light up when ready to fire
  • At the center of the HUD is your "phoenix gauge" showing when it can be used
  • Follow the blue quest markers which appear around your ship's target ring

Instructions:

Download the zip file and extract on your hard drive. Run the ProjectPhoenix.exe to play the game.

Fantastic game, very good work. I see the potential for a commercial title. Let this game win!

Thank you! :)

Awesome game! I liked to play i

Thanks! :)

Game looks good. BUT at first how space ships are connected with the main theme of gamejam? also I am very sad about the fact that, this game freezed my pc completely and after how I was told motherboard has burnt. Also game runs on unlimited fps and that really warms gpu and cpu up.

what gpu/cpu are you running? it's a UE5 game with high graphics and visual effects, so it will make any low end PC struggle a bit
