Description
In the not-too-distant future, space fighter jets boast the capability to travel at the speed of light. Space fighter pilot Cosmo is tasked to dispatch an important delivery to a mysterious set of coordinates outside the Kuiper Belt. Follow his adventure in one intrepid, orange-painted lightspeed fighter, through the solar system!
A complete redoing of a short game released 2019, Lightspeed Fighter aims to remix the old-school isometric shooter format into a colorful treat for the modern age.
This upload is a sample intended to demonstrate isometric shooter gameplay to players. The full game will have a menu with tutorial mode and configurable controls. While the initial learning curve may pose difficulty to players, later stages are not intended to increase significantly in difficulty.

Interesting perspective for this kind of game. I find the game controls not very intuitive and it's not clear if the bullets hit me or what's my hitbox.
Nevertheless, good work!
I've been suggested to allow controlling the player ship by mouse which would hopefully be more intuitive. The hitbox is the small white circle which appears when you press 'focus'. I should probably state that in the description. Thank you for commenting!
