Description
An action/adventure game with retro-Atari-2600-style graphics and sound. Over 200 screens of action, exploration, and quasi-puzzle solving all mixed together. Some may call it a MetroidVania game.
The story begins when a space war vet responds to a distress call from a distant space colony ship. Upon his arrival he finds it overrun by strange and hostile creatures. Having 3 old friends on this ship he is determined to save them. Once he frees them they will work as a team to defeat the invading forces.
The heart of the gameplay is switching between the 4 characters. Each has a unique ability. Different situations call for different abilities, and you decide which character to use and when.
This is a beta test version. Please let me know if you experience any technical problems. Thanks!
How to Play
Controls:
Arrows to move
'z' to shoot/jump/attack/save/
switch characters/use floor button.
Space bar to pause.
Press z to use whatever ability you currently have- shoot, jump, etc. (except when standing on a floor button.)
When standing on a floor button, press z to use it. Floor buttons can be used to save, teleport or switch characters.
Why only 1 functional button? The old Atari 2600 only had 1 button. This game capitalizes on that limitation by exploring the idea of using it for multiple things by making it context-sensitive and switching characters.
