'Space Fighter' was a lot of firsts to me. It was the first game I developed using the Unity Engine, more specifically, the first game I developed using any game engine period, and also the first game ever that I actually finished programming.

The gameplay is quite simple: You steer a space ship with the WASD-Keys and shoot aliens with the SPACE-Bar. At least, that's how it was originally intended, but playing the game with just one hand just felt... wrong to me. I don't remember why I decided to put 'Shoot' on the ArrowUp-Key of all places, but it gave me the idea to also put the other Arrow-Keys to use for two more attack options: Pressing the left or right Arrow-Key lets you push back and even defeat some enemies from the sides, and down boosts your vessel upwards with a firestream from its rear. You can also roast enemies with it from above. Always use a new mechanic to solve at least two problems!
Try it yourself!
