Description

Solar Diver is a space action game inspired by the Flash Game series Learn to Fly and Toss the Turtle. Your objective is to launch your ships into the depths of the Solar System, and reach the Star at the core. Along the way, you will need to dodge various asteroids and enemy craft, and upgrade your ship so that it can travel further into the depths of the Star System.

Solar Diver was originally made in 7 days for Brackeys 2023.2 Game Jam. Following user feedback, this version contains new powerups, a bigger map and tons of bug fixes, balance changes, and other minor tweaks. Thank you to everyone who left feedback during the Game Jam!

Highscores will automatically be submitted to the Leaderboard at the end of each Attempt.
