16-Bit retro shooter

Author Comments

I decided that We all needed a decent shooter. Playing it thorugh A browser may slow it doen too much. If you want to view the game as a standalone I am more then willing to email it to you. That is how it was meant to be played.

Bear in mind that is a demo. Not a finished product. As such there are no levels. Half decent weapons. Limited enemies. Basically the game engine is there. And thats about it.

-menu, howto play and stuff like that
-info on what the bubles do, more bubles and types of shot
-more enemy ships
-landscape progression and boos at the end.

Nice demo!

A compact download, and it's not too shabby of a game, putting aside the fact it's a demo.

I know it's a 1942/1943 ripoff, but hey. This isn't a bad emulation or... er... thing of it.

I would suggest trying to make your own 16-bit eraish sprites, just to make this game as original as you can get it. The powerups ought to be done in sprites too, they seem slightly out of place as flash circles (though I'm guessing you already have planned to change this).

I'd also like to see some more powerups if possible.

Overall, nice demo! Keep crackin'!

Yeah there is quite a way to go. I wanted to try to get an engine working for a shooter then, as you say, slot in my own graphics. I used the dambusters theme as that is the game I plan on turning it into. Fight though waves of german aircraft to blow up the damn at the end of each level.
