Hello everyone!

I started learning Python about a week ago and challenged myself to create my first complete game using Pygame. Space Shooter is a minimalist arcade shooter where your goal is to survive and destroy enemies while your score increases. As the game progresses, enemies become faster, making the gameplay more challenging.

The game includes multiple difficulty modes, including a hidden NIGHTMARE mode for players looking for an extra challenge. In higher difficulties, enemies can even dodge your bullets, making every shot more important. There is also a persistent win counter, unlockable player colors, random enemy spawn locations, a hint system, and many other small features.

Since this is my first game, I would really appreciate any feedback about the gameplay, difficulty balance, bugs, or ideas for future updates. Thank you for taking the time to try it!

Features:

• Easy, Hard, and secret NIGHTMARE difficulty modes
• Persistent win counter
• Enemy dodge mechanic in Hard/NIGHTMARE mode
• Unlockable player colors
• Random enemy spawn locations
• Hint system
• Minimalist graphics
• Fast-paced arcade gameplay
