For the Union

Free scrolling, stage-based shmup.


In this setting, ship mechanics unions have guaranteed that all ships exiting the bay doors must first choose a modification -- and only one modification.

Players will have to either choose between a potentially beneficial or detrimental ability mod, a weapon, or an HP refill*; should you put off refilling your health so you can get homing missiles? If your health is already full, would you rather choose a speed decrease so that your laser isn't replaced by the weaker wavey beam?


* HP Refill is only available as an option for damaged ships.



Python 2.7 and pygame. It's possible I'll have a simple parser based game in there as well but.. well, we'll see.


Hey, any recommendations for packaging as a standalone executable would be greatly appreciated. That partalways been a huge pain with pygame games for me.
