Mad Madder Starship  - Made and submitted for Madder Multiplayer Jam

Mad Madder Starship, a fast-paced, top-down arcade shooter. Choose from four unique factions and get ready for intense battles across galactic arenas, where the goal is to conquer space by collecting stars.

Game Description: The challenge is simple: capture and hold as many stars as you can while dodging attacks from your rivals. Each move from an opponent is a chance for you to get knocked out, losing all the stars you’ve collected. Win each round by being the first player to secure three full stars, but stay on your toes this game is relentless.

The game supports 1-4 players in local multiplayer, delivering a fun and competitive experience to enjoy with friends and family.

Game Modes: Arcade – The classic mode! Each round lasts 99 seconds, and your goal is to survive and collect as many stars as possible before time runs out. Perfectionism – An advanced mode for skilled players! Here, you can only score if you achieve a "perfect round," gathering all 50 star points in the arena without dying. It’s the ultimate test of precision and skill!

Gameplay Mechanics

- Dash Through Barriers: Use the Dash ability to zoom across the large space circle. This barrier blocks anyone who isn’t moving at high speed, so time your dash carefully to break through.

- Beware of Ship Thrusters:  Watch out for other ships’ thrusters they’ll eliminate you on contact. Navigate skillfully to avoid these dangerous propulsion trails.

- Limited Ship Durability: Your spaceship can only withstand a maximum of three hits before it explodes. Dodge enemy fire and play strategically to stay in the game longer.
