🚀 StarVoid: Survival Arcade Prototype

Endless Mode | Asteroid Evasion | Retro-Inspired Arcade Design | Unreal Engine 5


📖 Narrative Setting

Star Void places the player in the cockpit of a lone ship navigating an endless, chaotic void of space. There's no rescue, no backup only wave after wave of asteroids hurtling through the stars. With no weapons to rely on, survival is your only objective. Each second that passes is a test of reflexes and control.

In a setting reminiscent of classic arcade titles, the player faces the harshness of deep space alone, where timing, movement, and awareness are key.


🛠️ Implemented Mechanics & Features

FeatureDescription
🧭 Wave-Based Survival SystemEach new wave introduces increasing asteroid speed and density, testing the player's endurance.
💥 Enemy Collision SystemEnemies are not shot down—they're taken out by environmental hazards like asteroids. The player must avoid them and survive the chaos.
❤️ Life Counter & Game Over SystemThe player starts with 3 lives. Each hit from an asteroid or collision reduces this count. At 0, the game ends and restarts.
⏸️ Pause & Restart FunctionalityPressing Backspace pauses/unpauses the game. Pressing Enter begins a new run.
Retro Space VisualsThe game features a classic starfield backdrop, bold UI counters for score, lives, and wave number, creating that timeless arcade feeling.
🎮 Simple Controls, High ChallengeThe gameplay is easy to pick up but hard to master—emphasizing timing and spatial navigation over combat.

🎨 Design Highlights

  • Designed in Unreal Engine 5 using Blueprint-only logic
  • Focus on enemy-environment interactions rather than traditional combat
  • Inspired by classic arcade games like Asteroids and Space Invaders with a modern no-shoot twist
  • Full UI integration including wave counter, score system, and on-screen instructions
  • Fast prototype built to experiment with wave escalation and minimalist survival design
