Aphid attack is a top down shooter where you have to shoot down aphids to protect yourself (you being a ladybug). You have to survive hoards of them whilst collecting various powerups to aid your battle!
This was built using love2D and lua, and it helped me learn a ton about the lua and love api!
This was mainly a project to get me to learn lua, so what better way to do so than make a game! It helped me learn both the lua api and the love api, and it also taught me core game mechanics such as radial collision and spawning mechanics!
Its fairly simple! WASD to move, Space/Left mouse button for shooting, and you collect powerups by going over them! UI elements are also controlled through mouse!
In order to run this project from the source code, you will need the latest version of Lua and Love2d. Should you wish to build the web version of the game, you will then need to also use love js to build it to wasm!
