This is a game I made in python that uses 2-D graphics and you play it similar to an arcade. At the moment it is limited to a two player battle, but I am working on expanding it so that you can fight a computer. I am currently working on an interface for better control. The game's controls currently are:
player 1: forward-w left-a right-d shoot: bullet-t missile-y mine-u bomb-i
player 2: forward-arrow up left-arrow left right-arrow right shoot: bullet-1 Num pad missile-2 Num pad mine-3 Num pad bomb-4 Num pad.
You have fuel that runs out when you turn and accelerate. You can restock fuel by going though white boxes. Other boxes upgrade your weapons.
You'l need to install python, pygames and livewires
