Polygon Blasters
A downloadable game for Windows
Polygon Blasters is a bullet hell (shmup) developed in Python using Pygame.
The game features fast-paced gameplay focused on dodging dense bullet patterns, grazing enemy attacks for bonus score, collecting point items, and defeating increasingly difficult enemies with unique attack behaviors.
Unlike many beginner projects, Polygon Blasters was designed around reusable object-oriented systems that make it easy to add new enemies, bullet patterns, and gameplay mechanics.
Controls:
-Arrow keys for movements
-'Z' button for shooting
-Shift to switch into focus mode(slower speed for micro-dodging, visible hitbox, and a different shot type)
-Ctrl+'R': restart game
