Note: For the WebGL, the pause menu is activated by pressing "P" instead of "Esc". Also, the game runs with lower graphics for better performance.

Starcruiser is an FPS action / tower defense game, made for GMTK Game Jam 2026. There are 2 types of enemies: The orc and the alien soldier. Orcs are dangerous specifically because they target the Nexus directly, while the alien soldiers have rifles that they can shoot down Rigs floating over the surface.

Switch between three weapons: a single-shot rifle, an automatic rifle, and an AoE blaster.

GOAL:

1. Rigs Gather Energies over time: Get to 100 Energy before time runs out.
2. Protect the Nexus
3. And don't die more than 3 times

HOW TO PLAY:

1. Wasd and mouse to control. 
2. L-shift to run. Left click to fire weapon
3. Hold Space, then WASD to Fly Jetpack
4. 1-3 to switch between weapons
5. Press T and Click to Build Rigs. You can build up to 5 Rigs, Press T again to cancel. And Rigs cost 10 Energies to build, so proceed conservatively.

Collect Health and Clocks to restore health and the countdown timer. They spawn randomly across the map.
