A new game: Hyperspeed!

How about a little web-based runner game with starships?

The game is available over here:

Lately, I’ve been having quite some fun with Unity for game dev (if you want to learn more, you can take a look at some tutorials I posted on this topic). But you know what else is fun? Coding some full-browser native games! :)

Nowadays, browsers are becoming pretty skilled beasts that can do a lot. In particular, it’s now quite straight-forward to do 3D in the browser, thanks to lots of JS libraries: Three.js, Babylon.js, Zdog and many more… That means we can now make some of our 3D games directly in JavaScript and have them instantly available on the net, which I think is amazing for sharing and discovering new games from indie developers.

I decided to leverage some of those technologies and do a basic runner game with a spaceship: Hyperspeed! In this game, you control a spacecraft that moves along an infinite grid, going faster and faster through space, and trying to collect as many bonuses as possible while avoiding the obstacles.

Just to give you an idea of what the game looks like, here is a little 20 seconds-demo — make sure to watch until the end and to turn your sound on :)
