Community:RaceToTheBottom/Space Knights

Space Knights is a Sci-Fi survival game created by RaceToTheBottom.

Gameplay
In Space Knights, you must defend the core, a large forcefield at the corner of the map, from various cube-shaped enemies. You can also, other than killing some of the cubes to earn XP and level up to the next rank, you can use the Build tool to create a wall that will help defend yourself from the normal enemies, but they can still be vulnerable to Wallclimbers, Boomwalkers, and Skyscreamers.

Weapons
There are 8 weapons, and 2 gamepass weapons in Space Knights that assist in defending oneself in the game.

Melee Weapons

 * Axe: The axe is a simple tier 1 weapon with low damage. This is your starter melee weapon when you first arrive.
 * Sword: The sword is a tier 2 weapon, capable of more damage than the axe.
 * Axe w/ Shield: The axe/shield is a tier 3 weapon that does the same damage as the axe but with a shield that reduces damage done to the player.
 * Sword w/ Shield: The sword/shield weapon is a tier 4 weapon. It is basically the Sword, only with the same shield used for the Axe w/ Shield from Rank 3. This means that it has the same damage as the sword, but still the same bonus to damage resistance with the shield.
 * Dual Swords: This weapon is a Tier VIP weapon, only acquirable for 180 ROBUX via a gamepass. It like the sword and shield, but replaces extra defense with double the damage, with 2 swords to hit with. It also hits lower, allowing small enemies to be hit easier

Ranged Weapons

 * Bow: This is your first ranged weapon, capable of shooting in an arc but with little damage. However, it can one-shot kill the Standard enemy.
 * Laser Rifle: The laser rifle is a notably useful weapon due to its moderate rate of fire and damage & has no arced trajectory. It is unlocked along with the Sword when you first level up
 * Crossbow: The crossbow shoots 5 bolts side by side with an arced trajectory and is capable of massive damage at close range. It is unlocked along with the Axe w/ Shield when you level up to Rank 3
 * Rocket Launcher: This weapon fires a slow sticky rocket that does slightly more damage than the rifle but over a wide area & without an arced trajectory. The weapon is also the only weapon in the game that can cause environmental damage. It is unlocked along with the Sword w/ Shield when you make it to Rank 4
 * Space Spear: This weapon is a Tier VIP weapon, only acquirable for 120 ROBUX via a gamepass. It fires a laser, that upon hit splits into 4 smaller, homing lasers, which, unlike the rocket launcher, does not damage the environment, or cause an explosion.

Enemies
There are five enemies in Space Knights.
 * Standard: These enemies are low health tier 1 enemies capable of climbing inclines of 45 degrees with ease & can disguise as blocks but they glow green and are easily spotted. They can be killed in one shot even with the Bow, and give you 10 XP for killing one.
 * Wallclimbers: These enemies are introduced usually on Wave 2. They have moderate health and can climb steep inclines. You earn 30 XP when you kill them.
 * Boomwalkers: These enemies have the same health as standard, but explode when touched by a player. They glow purple and are easy to spot when in block form. You eran 20 XP for killing one.
 * Skyscreamers: Arguably the most annoying of the enemies, these enemies fly in the air and drop bombs that can damage the environment, up to and including your bases' walls. However, they have low health and are easily defeated with the Laser Rifle.
 * Nightstalkers: These enemies have the largest size of all of the enemies. They glow red and cannot be able to hide, but they have the largest amount of HP in the game. You earn a whopping 100 XP for defeating one.
 * Heartcrusher/Flattener: An enemy bigger than the Nightstalker. This enemy spawns in wave 50 and has a larger HP than the nightstalker. Remember to kill it quick as it insta-kills your core. Unknown amount of XP for defeating the enemy.

Power-Ups

 * Speed Boost: This Power-Up gives you more speed when activated. It costs 3 Shards to use this.
 * Heal Core: This adds 15 Integrity back to the Core if any is lost. This is a useful power-up and helps with making it to higher waves. 5 Shards is required to use this power-up.
 * Slow All Enemies: This power-up slows down all living enemies for a limited time. This can be useful if you are a ranged-oriented player. 7 Shards are required to use this.
 * Stop All Enemies: This power-up prevents any movement for living enemies for a short time. Like Slow All Enemies, it requires 7 Shards to activate it.
 * Sacred Fire: This power-up sets your character on fire for a limited time. You don't lose HP from the fire, but it can ignite any enemy you touch during this time. It costs 8 Shards to use.
 * Kill All Enemies: This power-up causes every enemy in the wave to instantly die, thus ending said wave. It requires 10 shards to use this.

Game Passes
There are currently 6 game passes in Space Knights.


 * 50 Shards: This pass will give you 50 single-use shards to use for power-ups (see said article), aiding you and your teammates with defending the core. This pass costs 150 ROBUX.


 * 99 Shards: This pass gives you 99 shards, working the same was as the seen-above 50 Shards pass, ableit with 44 extra shards. This pass costs 250 ROBUX.


 * Customize Armor: This pass will give you an option to change the color of your armor. There are eight colors to choose from (Default [Gray], Red, Brown, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, and Black) that you can change to any time. This is the most expensive game pass, as it costs 500 ROBUX.


 * Dual Swords: This pass gives you a new weapon, which is exactly what it is. You earn dual swords that you can use to defend the core. Presumably, this gives you twice the amount of damage you would deal with a single sword. This pass costs 180 ROBUX.


 * Single Color Unlock: This game pass allows your knight to be given a single extra color for your suit, unlike the Customize Armor pass (which gives you all of them). If you buy both this and Customize Armor, you will presumably receive a bonus for you. This pass costs 90 ROBUX.
 * Space Spear: This pass unlocks a new ranged weapon for use, called the Space Spear. This unique weapon is used by throwing the spear at the desired area, splitting into four smaller homing spears. This makes it a good weapon for causing good damage to multiple enemies without damaging the terrain in the process. This item costs 120 ROBUX.

Trivia

 * The creator, RaceToTheBottom, was actually an account run by the ROBLOX Games team in 2013 for what they consider their largest gaming experiment yet. Their goal was to put themselves in the shoes of the average game developer and see what it takes to get onto the front page. No one except the Games team at ROBLOX knew about this until the Communications department reached out for an interview.
 * The game was developed during the nighttime, which was very uncommon for most games today.
 * There are currently 4 ranks in the game. They were labelled Nebular Noob, Solar Squire, Jovian Journeyman, and Space knight.
