Orion Nebula

Author Comments

In year 2202, the National Interstellar Research Center of Singapore stunned the world with a remarkable prototype of 'Quantum Leaper'. With this groundbreaking invention, the scientists are able to transport physical matters to a location light years away in a matter of hours. In theory, they will be able travel to the brightest nebula 1300 light years away - the Orion Nebula - in a matter of months.


Two hundred years later, that theory is ready to be tested. China builds a fleet of interstellar fighter jets at Harbin using the Quantum Leaper. Their mission is to explore the Orion Nebula to discover signs of life and to colonize resource-rich planets. To safeguard against potential hostility, the fighter jets are equipped with state-of-the-art weaponry, to be used against unfriendly alien life forms.


The Quantum Leaper brings them to the brightest star of the Orion Nebula - star A. Two very advanced civilizations are found there - an insectoid race, Zig, and a humanoid race, Proz. Unfortunately, without a means of communication, the human is unable to deliver their peaceful diplomacy. In no time, Zig and Proz form an alliance to launch a fierce, high-tech military attack on the human.


You're the pilot of one of the fighter jets. Can you survive the allied alien force and return to earth safely?

Its fun but the controls need work

ExK responds:

hi mark, the game is designed primarily to be played with a mouse. Which control are you not satisfied with, and how do you like to improve it?

Nothing new with this shooter although it does feel fresh i would like to see more options with the upgrade system and a better gain ratio on money! On the down side the enemies take to long to die blocking the shots for the next wave. Other than that very nice game good job.

ExK responds:

thanks for your feedback craitos. when the jet is low level, its power is limited, just like a level 1 character in an RPG. After some upgrades, you'll have a badass fighter jet unleashing uber power.

My experience with this game was poor. For some reason there was no sound at all (and yes my computer’s speakers were on and functional) and no sound control options to try and get it working. The game speed seemed was a bit slow, perhaps compounded by the lack of sound. The controls made my ship continue moving even after I let go of the button, which made navigating through bullets and aiming difficult. I found that hitting the space bar will stop the movement of the ship. The enemy take too long to go down after being destroyed allowing them to continue shooting and blocking shots intended for the ships behind them. Prices v. money gain are a little lopsided and the repetition of the attacking waves of enemies gets monotonous. Unfortunately, the best thing I can say about this tribute to Asteroids is the background graphics were cool.

ExK responds:

hi dragon snack, the game has sound. you can also control the ship by 'click and hold' the ship and move the mouse around. the first few levels are designed to be slower so that the player can familiarize themselves with the control. approximately one new enemy is introduced in each level, so it won't be monotonous.

tricky game. awesome "pump it up" music!

ExK responds:

thank you metroid. don't forget to spend the resources on ship upgrade or it gets a bit hard :)
