Race in Space is a remade version of Atari's 1973 Arcade game Space Race. I do not take ownership towards any portion of this game as I just created it to deconstruct it and remake it to better my game development abilities.

With this said onto the information about Race in Space:

Gameplay Instructions:

To win in the game, the players must avoid the asteroids with their spaceship and get to the top of the screen from the bottom of the screen. Each time the player reaches the top, they score 1 point. The game continues until the time is completed or until the score limit is reached.

Race in Space tries to replicate the non-informational screens of arcade machines. So this description will be a good help if you are curious.

Controls:

Player 1 (Left): W to move up. S to move down.

Player 2 (Right): Up Arrow to move up. Down Arrow to move down.


Pregame Lobby Settings:

Asteroid Speed:

Minimum = How slow the asteroids will move.

Maximum = How fast the asteroids will move.

Score = Amount of times the player needs to score to win.

Timer = Amount of time each round will be.
