Goodbye Earthlings!
A downloadable demo for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Goodbye Earthlings! is a SHMUP prototype.
I wanted to make a game like Dodonpachi or Touhou. So I made this :)
I'm putting this out there to show people what I've been working on in my spare time.
Features:
- One awesome level
- Innovative 'Capture' mechanic where you use your tractor beam to ensare enemies onto your side!
- Xinput Controller support
- Aspect Ratio Scaling for alternate monitor orientation support
Music in the main level is by Drop Cartel (Abduction), and all the rest of the art / music in the game is public domain sprites and backgrounds, sounds, music from the lovely OpenGameArt community.
Programming, Level Design, and general cobbling together of disparate ideas - Christian Murphy
I hope you enjoy the prototype, and perhaps this is an idea that can be revisited in larger scope.
