Build a focused Space shooter
Use this template when you want a space shooter that starts with a playable loop, clear controls, score feedback, and a path into Playworks publishing.
How to adapt the prompt
Keep the first version narrow, then add visual polish, pacing changes, or leaderboard goals after the browser draft is easy to test.
Mechanics to include
- Define the main space shooter objective in one sentence.
- Show score, failure, and restart states without extra navigation.
- Keep controls and feedback readable in the first playable draft.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Requesting too many advanced systems before the core loop works.
- Leaving scoring or failure feedback ambiguous.
- Skipping a public example before starting the creator workflow.
