Decription & Game Design

"Space Force Prime" is a Python3-only application designed as a single-player top-down scrolling space shooter game.

The player's score increases with each successful package delivery, and each destroyed enemy ships. The score decreases when the player misdelivers a package to an enemy ship, or destroys a friendly ship. Health starts at 100% and is reduced with each collision - whether it be with any ship or asteroid.

As the player's score increases, so does the difficulty of the game - more enemy ships, less friendly ships, more asteroids to avoid.

Storyline

It's the year 2069 (nice!), and President Barron Trump's U.S. Space Force program is in ruins. Amazon's Cyborg CEO, Jeff Bezos 4.0, just bought out the derelict military branch.

As a newly-hired delivery human, it's your job to deliver packages to Prime customers while defending your ship, crew, and cargo.

Good luck ...and watch out for asteroids!
