Galactic Defense

Galactic Defense is a game designed for research on music and emotion. Galactic Defense takes ~5-10 minutes to fully play through, and has streamlined action combat mechanics.

A rogue AI has  re-awakened a long-dead fleet of dreadnaughts. You command the Vatic Savate, the only ship fast enough to defend against this incursion.

To defeat an opposing ship in  Galactic Defense, you must reduce their health to 0. All ships also have a shield. Shields block all damage, but have a limited health pool. When shields are overpowered, they recharge after a short delay.

You have 4 abilities in  Galactic Defense

Q - Auto-Attack:  (Toggle) 

If not attacking: Lowers your shields and begins firing an attack pattern. Your cannons begin firing slowly, but gain speed and power the longer they attack.  Shields remain down while firing.

If attacking: Ceases all firing and brings your shields back up after a short delay

W - Heavy Attack

Lowers your shields temporarily. After a delay, fires a powerful beam laser. Does little damage to  shields, but can deal massive damage to health.

If hit by any attack during the delay, heavy attacks will be cancelled

E -  Absorbing defense matrix

Lowers your shields temporarily. During this time, any Heavy Attacks will be  nullified, and you will respond with a disabling shot of your own.

R - Repair and Recharge

Lowers your shields temporarily. After a delay, repairs a percentage of missing shield and health.

If hit by any attack during the delay, healing will be cancelled
