Spacecraft Willie
A downloadable game for Windows
In this game you orbit around planet Earth, while fighting pesky humans in fighter planes trying to stop you from conquering the planet. You will fight endless waves of enemies. After every wave, you will get to vote on one of three possible rewards for winning that round. And thanks to Twitch integration, your viewers will be able to join the vote too!
This is a game I made during the Twitch GameJam 2024. The theme was "Many to One", which is interpreted as many enemy fighter jets come together to fight the One alien invader, controlled by the player. I also submitted this game for the 'Feedback Quest 7: indiegames X indie streamers' game jam. The submission periods for the two jams overlapped, and since both are related to streamers, I thought it just made sense I would share what I made with as people as possible to see what you all think :P
Twitch integration can be enabled from the pause menu.

So glad I finally gave this a try!
I don't think there's been a time anywhere in the last year that I've loaded up the Itch front page, and this wasn't somewhere on it. I was worried about the 3d environment (I get motion sick easy) but finally decided to look into it.I love the style of this! The spacecraft feels nice to fly, and the planes are very reasonable dangers to avoid and target. Despite the airways being so crammed towards the end, I never quite felt like taking damage was ever unreasonable, and while scary, each level still seemed doable (even if not by me, haha)
Thanks for making this, and congrats on your placing in the twitch game jam!
for what it is, white and black planes its pretty well made, how long did it take you to code ?
Thank you! I made this game during the Twitch game jam, so I worked on this for about two weeks.
would you be up to join a team by chance ? whats your discord I want to show you what we are working on
