Chain Reaction
A downloadable game for Windows, Linux, and Android
About:
You own a Smart space destroyer 4000. It is a weapon that can shoot bullets with an integrated AI system. The AI understands who is moving and targets the nearest moving object. However, you as the owner of the weapon can also move and be a potential target, therefore, you have to collaborate with AI to survive as long as possible!
The game was made in less than 4 days without using a game engine, only C++, and a graphics library (SFML).
A video showcasing how I made the game:
Controls:
- W to move towards the cursor, S to move backward
- Left click to shoot
Controls (Android):
- Touch and hold to move
- Tap to shoot
- Keep in mind that you cannot shoot and move (no multitouch)
Music:
The in-game music is by Cursedsnake (Sunrays).

Install instructions
Windows: Unzip the downloaded folder and run the .exe file.
Linux:
First, download and unzip the folder. After unzipping and opening the folder, you'll see 2 folders and Chain_Reaction. Open the terminal (ctrl + alt + t) and cd into the unzipped folder (in my case "cd Desktop/Chain_Reaction_Linux/" The last step is to type "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./Libs && ./Chain_Reaction"
Update: in case this above solution doesn't work, try to install libsfml-dev and that might be a fix.

Super impressive for a game made in a custom engine
