Prism Survivor

Prism Survivor

Launch into deep space and survive as long as you can in this arcade shooter inspired by the classic "Asteroids". Drift through an endless asteroid field, shoot down pirates, bugs and mines, and shatter meteors into prisms to keep yourself alive. The longer you last and the more you destroy, the higher your score.

But be careful how much you kill... Clear out enough of one species and something much bigger comes looking for you...

About

This is my first game, built as the capstone project of my self-study course: questline.baffa.ch. It's made in LÖVE (Love2D) with hand-written game code, so no engine editor, no physics library

Installation

Windows
Windows will show a blue "Windows protected your PC" screen on first launch. The game is unsigned, a code signing certificate costs more than a free capstone project can justify. Click "More info" → "Run anyway"

macOS
The app is unsigned, so Gatekeeper will refuse it on first launch. Right-click the app → "Open", then confirm.

Linux
Make the AppImage executable first: "chmod +x PrismSurvivor-*.AppImage"
