feature early boss battles. At the end of levels, tougher, stronger enemies were required to
be destroyed before advancing to the next stage.
he game
Interstellar Paranoids
(shown in Figure 14.1) pays homage to these classic
games. It features a spaceship that moves left, right, up, and down around the screen, and
it can fire to destroy enemies. The enemies swoop in from the top and left and right sides
of the screen, flying around along paths as they shoot projectiles at the player. At the end
of each stage will be a boss enemy that requires a lot more hits to take down.
The sound effects are old fashioned, arcade style, and there is a scrolling starfield in
the background with explosions lighting up the screen as collisions happen. Its overall
structure difers a little from other games in this topic, as seen in Figure 14.2.
This game may be found in the example games project, its scenes in the Scenes/
Interstellar Paranoids folder named level_1, level_2, and menu_IP.
Its prefabs are located in the Prefabs/Games/Interstellar Paranoids folder.
