Asteroids

Asteroids is a very simple single player game where you destroy asteroids. It was my first C++ project in UE4.

Notable Features

  • A decent level of juice
  • Multiple levels of weapons (improving with score)
  • Asteroids spawning at increasing rate
  • Asteroids speed and size directly related to its health and points

Gameplay

You keep shooting and evading rocks flying your way until the end of time.

Thoughts

As a first c++ unreal engine 4 project done in a kind of gamejam-ish style, I’m quite happy with it. I think it shows that you can make a decent game in a short time in UE4 that has a decent amount of juice included.

The UE4 c++ provided some problems that I briefly mention in my Unity vs Unreal article but in general it was manageable.
