Description
Raider is an old-school platformer experience that will consist of five separate episodes, eventually.
You play as a character called Arkus Zei: a 'space pirate' who makes a living by searching for loot in abandoned wrecks of dead spaceships and such.
It's meant to be DIFFICULT, and it's meant to be simple and straightforward; there are no gimmicky features or unnecessary frills, just basic platformer goodness. You can jump, shoot and slash and that's it, and all you have to do is get to the end of the level and beat the boss. Simple. Or is it?
There are also hidden 'relic' items for you to find, and you get a Rank at the end of the level based on your performance, adding replayability.
How to Play
IMPORTANT: The controls can be CUSTOMISED! Just click on 'How to Play' on the main menu, and there you'll find a 'Configure' option.
Use the Arrow Keys to move.
A, S and D are the other controls.
SPACE pauses the game.
While paused, use ESC to return to the main menu.
Use Z to skip dialogue, and ENTER to skip the cutscene thing at the start if you don't want to read.
Developer Updates
v1.1.54 â Boss is considerably easier now on Easy mode (itâs the same on the other difficulty settings). Also, there are some minor tweaks and high scores (or there SHOULD be, at least!)
Suggestions for yet more tweaks are welcome and will be listened to, if youâre polite!
v1.1.52 â You can now return to the main menu from any of the âgame overâ screens, OR by pausing with SPACE, then pressing ESC.
v1.1.51 â Some minor fixes, including unpausing causing sound to play when muted, inability to stand on the top of ladders, and some other minor thingsâĻ
v1.1.50 â Thereâs now an option to configure the keys to your preference. Go to the âHow to Playâ screen and press the Configure button there. However, since this was just made due to people asking for it, itâs NOT been thoroughly tested (I tested it, but not extremely thoroughly), so THERE MAY BE BUGS with it. If there are, I need to know what they are, of course.
v1.1.49 â Added a Mute button.
âĻand now mute also mutes sound effects.

this game made me pull out my hair, caused three bouts of blind fury, and made me want to throw my PC out the window. I LOVED IT!

This is really cool man. I'm certainly becoming a fan of yours. I actually found this because I looked at your profile and saw it. I'm also a huge Mardek fan, that games awesome too. I may only be 17 but I grew up on SNES and still remember and love those games. Keep doin what your doin man, you are doing a great job

Wow, someone who isn't afraid to make a game hard. The difficulty is excellent, the gameplay is great (old NES and SNES platformers FTW!), and overall, I had lots of fun playing this game. 5/5

Also, I am really glad to see that the game has attracted a few people who actually do remember the good old games which were actually challenging, which you could play for ages without really getting anywhere because you kept dying, but when you did, it felt like such a satisfying accomplishment... Modern games, with their instant gratification and 'Death is a slap on the wrist' mechanics don't really have this same feeling...

Pesudo, you're brave posting this somewhere where a lot of people didn't gorw up playing old games. The uneducated bastards need to go out and get an old nintendo. xD Dude, why weren't you getting paid for this earlier in time? If this was the standard for 8 bit games back in the day, things would have been soooooooo much better. Build a time machine. seriously.
