Dark Space is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up that makes use of passive helpers called orbitals. Up to two orbitals can be equipped at one time, and each unique combination results in a different weapon. Players can switch out orbitals on the fly and find their preferred combinations to conquer the levels with!

This project is the first game I programmed using GML (GameMaker Language). Working on Dark Space was a very educational experience for me, as it taught me a lot about game design practices and coding conventions. The game also set the stage for several characters and locations that would continue to reappear in my subsequent projects.
