Critical Crystal

About the Game

Welcome to an intense, fast-paced 2D sci-fi action space shooter built in Godot 4. Pilot a tactical ship through a collapsing station, gather Critical Crystals, dodge laser traps, and reach the win zone!

Experience a cinematic audio-synced intro and compete for survival on a live global Flock cloud leaderboard.

How to Play

• Infiltrate: Navigate hazardous space station corridors filled with automated laser barrier traps, defense turrets, and aggressive drone fleets.
• Reclaim: Avenge your ambushed vessel by taking back your stolen Critical Crystals from the enemy fortresses.
• Survive: Brace for a critical meltdown! Grabbing the core turns the lighting red, triggers sirens, and alerts all enemy fleets.
• Escape: Force a high-speed escape through laser traps under critical time pressure. Reach the extraction zone before the station is destroyed to earn top placement on the global leaderboard!

Features

• Custom SDK: Built our own Qwacks Flock Godot SDK from scratch (ported from the official Unity SDK) to bring Flock support to Godot 4!
• Player Data & Auth: Managed device registration, player profile persistence, and real-time cloud stats syncing (best completion times and kill counts).
• Global Leaderboard: Powered a live in-game world leaderboard that automatically fetches, highlights, and scrolls to the player's rank.

Controls

• W: Move Forward
• SPACE: Dash
• Q and E: Dodge
