Hi, it’s been a while since I make a proper idea.
This wave is a reference to real world mechanic where a satellite orbit a primary body.
Description:
The wave announces with a zoom out and a small safe zone at the bottom.
And then, a wave of indestructible barrier raspidly close in at high speed, locking the player in the “primary body”. These barriers have 3 barrier bombs for player to detonate to destroy the barriers.
And then, the chicken clusters, representing satellites began traveling from left to right (or vice versa) in a curved path, mimicing a satellite’s orbital movement. They travel at a very slow speed and accelerate as you kill the chickens. From 6 to 18 chicken clusters can appear in this wave.
Notes:
-
This is a clean sweep wave, the chickens will escape if not defeated, contradicting the “period” in this wave since they’d return.
-
The chicken clusters can represent any celestial body, from green terran planet to a comet.
-
The barrier trapping you also has a random radius, from small to giant, can expand beyond the sides of the screen. Additionally, the trajectories of the chicken clusters would also change depends on the barriers. This is why the safe zone is small by default.
I made this wave after I listened to a certain song with the same name, would be funny if this wave is added into the game, bearing the same “Orbital Period” name.
