Star Fugitives
A downloadable game for Windows
"Star Fugitives" is a small little game I made for the "Indie Game Dev Beginners 2" jam. It involves going around in space as a police spaceship to check on travelling spaceships's papers and shoot down fugitives.
There's a special event at some point after checking many spaceships.
It was inspired by some nostalgic games for me such as "Space Invaders" and "Papers, Please".
I made only a Windows executable so it's only available on Windows right now.
Java JDK is required to run the exe.

Install instructions
All you have to do is download and run the exe. It was made in Java so you must have Java JDK installed to run it.

Works for me, but very laggy. And I can't leave the instructions page.
There's an issue with clicks not registering at some ticks. It was a cheap and fast workaround made because of lack of time for the game jam. Spamming the book should close it at some point. The game is supposed to be "laggy", meaning that ships don't accelerate, they move a certain number of pixels at a time.
Oh ok, but it really gives an illusuion that it is "laggy", maybe you could add animations or something to fix that.
The game was made in two days and a half for a game jam and it ranked pretty low anyway. I'm sorry, I'm probably not going to update it for a while or even ever.
Oh that's sad :( Because it really seems like a good game if you maybe updated it, and more people would have played it if you could make it playable on browser. Because I really liked the game.
