Including point, that if you ever want to have interesting in retro theme or remember. 8 bit or 16 bit or MS DOS. You can play this game. It works with modern systems.

Atmosphere of celebration is valuable for everyone. Including a cosmonauts. You can become space Santa Clause. You need to be good and kind and positive. Not to be evil. And there is one more point, even more mysterious story – about galactic bar “New Year”. There is a celebration everyday in this place! This place - is it real or not? Looks like – yes.

It will be enough for all over the year, lots of presents. You have lots of friends and you will give lots of presents to your friends. And friends will come to you and they give you presents. It will be lots of presents!

With a mood like this - this game was made. Good and kind, space, New Year`s mood. Shooter and arcade. About gameplay.

Hi again y’all! Its been a wild couple of weeks, for sure- we have what feels like a million irons in the fire, and we’re still getting used to that. Some of that is too privy for discussion yet, so while we’re waiting let me update you on whats happening TODAY!

So do you remember Lifeline, our HTML endless shooter from last year?

youtube

We’ve used some downtime to polish it up a bit, and are discussing where we could take the project. As before the game as is, is still free to play and fully available here on GameJolt- but i feel like its definitely one of our most snappy and addictive games, and it would be fun to see if we could get some mileage outta that!

Yesterday Åge took some time to tweak the visuals and speed, and today we’re gonna attend an in-person playtest at the office to see if we can gather some ideas. Hell, maybe y’all got some ideas here too!

The Hamar Game Collective Testbonanza is a bi-monthly event where local gamedevs and students crawl out of the woodwork and gather at our office to test each others games. If you’re in the area, pop by and grill this project LIVE

Here’s some quick and nasty concept art i cooked up yesterday by editing the Carina Nebula cosmic cliffs (beautiful!) over a screenshot of the game. While it looks cool, i also think it would be wildly distracting from the gameplay- and that much of its charm comes from how simple it looks. However, the artist in me can’t help but complicate things! Maybe there’s a nice middle ground somewhere...

The music stays though :) Its one of my favorite works! Give the game a try if you haven’t, yeah?

-Hauk

Ever wanted a good star-trek game? Well this is not startrek, but the mechanics of gameplay really give a star trek vibe.

You play the part of a federation allied ship carrying vital data for defense of the federation. The rebel fleet are trying to catch you and destroy you before you make it to the end.

Gameplay takes several aspects.

There is the overall course selection from the map, where you have to get to the end of sector jump in one piece while evading the chasing rebel fleet. Its important to look before you make ftl jump decisions, as some pathways can leave you stranded without enough fuel, or not enough time. A sector contains many things such as shops, nebula, plasma storms, pirates, slavers, drifting junk, planets, settlements, and so on.

Once in a while you are certain to get into a situation where you have to fight another ship in ship-to-ship combat. For this, you must manage your ship's subsystems, protect your crew, overcome the strategies of the opponent (who may use tactics such as boarding parties, mind control etc) and use your own features and tactics over your opponent.

Death and destruction is almost inevitable in gameplay, though you could opt to go a least violent route if you are playing that way.

Other than fight-situations, there are other gameplay mechanics (which remind of star trek too). For example, you will be making decisions, making negotiations with the other ships and peoples you meet. The make up of your crew could enhance the options you have. Not all choices are morally black and white, such as sometimes necessary dealings with (or destruction of) slavers.

You can have a various crew on your ship, such as rockmen, mantis, zoltan, mind-slugs, engi androids, humans and so on.

You will also be prudently managing your resources and 'scrap' currency to upgrade your ship along the way. various tech and upgrades are available, such as hacking modules, cloning bays, teleportation modules, various weapons, droid parts etc.

You can also have various options in the types of ships you unlock. the first ship available to you is the federation kestrel ship. A simple and versatile ship.

Give this game a go, it seems to be a small and not-high graphics game, but it was a very satisfying and engaging play for me. Can't praise enough.

PS - also good soundtrack.

During my early teens this was the most advanced and entertaining video game I could play on any machine at home. It didn't measure up to state of the art games like Descent II and Star Fox 64, but to my brother and me it was a treasure. If only there were more than six planets.

Welp. Everything else that we've done hasn't worked. So instead of trying to blow things up from a distance, the plan is to blow it up all up close and personal. Which seeing as I've been using napalm the whole game, works for me. #silpheed #ps2 #retro

The Arcade version of Exerion stands as a classic, presenting an intense and challenging 80s space shooter experience. However, its SG-1000 counterpart, while sharing similarities in core gameplay, offers a notably less demanding experience. The game features fewer enemy variations, shorter waves, and notably lacks final bosses at the end of the first loop.

Despite this, it could have been an enjoyable experience, but its visually discomforting elements deterred me from fully embracing this port. The erratic scrolling and confusing environmental design have the potential to induce instant headaches, making ship control a challenge. Maintaining focus amid clouds and other visual elements becomes a battle in itself, exacerbated by the aliens' white projectiles adding to the visual chaos.

Admittedly, I understand the hardware limitations that resulted in these graphical and performance differences. Nonetheless, I strongly feel that improvements in the scrolling mechanism could have prevented such issues, vastly enhancing the gaming experience and mitigating the strain caused by visual inconsistencies.

Ant Lion

Space is not so empty as it looks. And it has rather intelligence ants and insects. They are enough intelligence to develop space ships. They are strange. And they have their own behaviors, that humans cannot understand.

Big amount of enemies ships. And its formation has a form of ant. It is lots of ships. It is in style of acrobatics, when many people try to create some figure. But here we have a lot of ships, and they make a form of ant. It looks funny.

And, saying the truth, this ant is big and can bite. They are easy to shoot and crash everything, that is on the way. And if it is required - they can go apart. And begins some chaos. Like a hurricane they go apart. And every ship goes next by its own way.

Our scientists have a record of this event on a video. And make a computer model. And call this event as ant lion.
