Design

This space battle is a platform app with simple graphics.

This player's ship has five lives and it is used to shoot at enemies.

This enemy ship has one life and it is easiest to be killed. It brings 20 points to a player.

This enemy ship has two lives and brings 50 points to a player.

This enemy ship has three lives and brings 100 points to a player.

This player's laser is a bit faster than the enemy’s, but there are a lot more enemy ships so that is not a big advantage.

This enemy's laser should be avoided.

Acknowledgments

The game is named after the song 'Fueuer frei!'(Fire at will, translated) by German band Rammstein. The same song is used for the soundtrack and the intro image is a picture from the band's concert. Buton, fire, and explosion sounds are from Freesound website'. Jared York's tutorial was very helpful while building the app.
