Space Vacuum Salesman

"As an intergalactic salesman, fly thru the dangerous galaxy and sell vacuum cleaners. Face the challenges of a Star Fox-inspired shmup, and weigh your decisions when talking to a client in short Visual Novel segments."

Space Vacuum Salesman is a short course project for school. You're an intergalactic vacuum salesman. Play a quick round of a shmup -- fly thru asteroid fields, fight pirates, and encounter potential clients. Then, in a visual novel segment, try to convince the aliens to buy vacuum cleaners. See how you fare and if you´re good at sales!

Controls are W,A,S,D for ship manouvers and mouse for shooting

Made by Henri Tervapuro & Jami Tuominen over the summer of 2023.

Features a shmup level with random hazards,  a visual novel segment made with INK that features random variables for the clients (you need to figure out their needs for a successful sale!), original artwork, music & sfx. The game is built on a three-step run and ends automatically either on death or after the third client. There is no end state other than aiming for a high-score.
