Event Horizon is a retro bullet-hell 'shmup featuring pseudo-3D vector graphics. It's written in pure HTML Canvas and Javascript and is inspired by the classic Atari vector games of the early 80s such as Asteroids and Tempest.

Your ship is on the event horizon of a rotating black hole. Resist the pull of gravity while you battle a variety of enemies that emerge from the singularity. Eventually, however, you will be pulled in but will re-emerge in a new galaxy and on the event horizon of a new black hole.

Collect bonus items such as shields, ammo and extra lives, and battle bosses every 10 levels!

Use the arrow keys to rotate your ship left and right, Space to fire and Z to use your one-time per life super zapper.

I designed the game, gameplay and created the music. Claude AI assisted with the code creation and debugging.
