Parallel - Simultaneous Shooter/Racer

This is our entry for Github Game Off 2018.

There is an issue with Particles in the version of Godot that we used, and they cause browser crashes and freezes. I have uploaded a version that removes all particles, so it should work in browser. Try the download versions to try them out!

This year's theme was "hybrid", which we interpreted as "playing two complete games at the same time":

Controls:

Left and right arrow keysSteer ship and car
SpaceFire ship laser

Objective:

ShooterRacer
Collect all power-ups while destroying ships and meteors. Increase your score by causing more and more destruction. Lose a power-up each time an enemy hits you or shoots you. Lose the game when you get hit without any power-ups.Race as fast as you can, for as long as you can to increase your score. Increase your max speed by driving over speed boosters. Lose your boost by hitting other cars or rocks on the road. Lose the game when you hit something without any boosts.

The game difficulty becomes more intense as your score rises. Music is also affected by your performance, so don't let us down!

I have fixed some bugs that were noticed by players after release. They were quick changes and should make the game run slightly better (and not fill the background process with errors!). If you want to play the original versions, bugs and all, they are still left up. Judge us based on that, it's only fair!
