BattleSpace
A downloadable game for Android
A simple air control type game that has you fighting enemies instead of landing planes. It's inspired by air traffic type games.
This was a my first real programming project, something I had started 6.5 years ago. I decided to dig it out and port it to OUYA for the 2019 OUYA game jam. This sort of thing is exactly why I bought an OUYA back in the day, although I never got around to publishing anything. Seeing this jam inspired me to revisit it.
I didn't see the jam until the day before it ended so game is pretty much as it was. The conversion from touch controls ended up a little clunky. I had built this game completely from scratch, no engines or 3rd party libraries. I tested on 1080 monitor and it looks alright. Tested on my 1440 phone and I wouldn't recommend it, haha.
The graphics are very crude and some things are unpolished. The original vision for the game had a number of additional play modes that I never got around to. I'm not sure if I'll have the time or motivation to tackle those things. My experience working on it in the last 8 hours is that the code is really bad. :D

Install instructions
This game is specific for use with OUYA, You can install it on a phone if you want to, but the touch controls are not setup for that. If you have a controller you use with your phone, that should work fine.
To install, on your OUYA, go to Make > Upload and then select the UPLOAD button and follow the on screen instructions. Your PC and your OUYA will both need to be connected to the same network. After this process is complete the game will be ready to go and it should appear in Make > Software, possibly in the Play menu instead.
Alternatively, you could side load the app, that should work fine.
