What do you think?

Design looks sick! Nice concept too! Good job!

hola

200th follower is me! Sorry but I can't buy the game. I don't have enough money :/ But looks awsome

What is this About?

As a criminal on death row you can choose... Die quietly or die in the Alpha Dog dungeon! Choosing the dungeon will still bring certain death, but it may also grant you immortality if you can become the Alpha Dog champion by defeating the hordes of Cur over multiple levels using all your wits and the many weapons scattered throughout.

FEATURES

Alpha dog is an ultra-low-rez arena shooter with procedurally generated levels. You start the game with a simple pistol, but as you continue you can buy or find more weapons and upgrade your health. The game has the following features:

  • Infinite levels of procedurally generated mayhem

  • 19 different weapons, all with their own unique handling and effects

  • Multiple different enemy types, each with their own distinct AI

  • Secret areas with special weapons that just can't be bought

  • Online highscores so you can compete against the world[/list]

WHY SO SMALL?

This game started from a simple premise - what's the smallest resolution that I can make a playable game in? After making some prototypes I realised that 90x45 was viable and set about making something that would be fun to play in such a small amount of pixels and so Alpha Dog was born! I've always loved arena shooters, and the small play area lent itself nicely to this kind of casual shooter game. I've packed as much as possible into the tiny space available and I hope you enjoy playing it! Remember, it's not the size that counts but what you do with it... ;)

Alpha Dog is featured on the GameJolt front page! Thanks to all the team here, and thank you to everyone that's followed the game! Here's a wee GIF of the palette swap feature from the game... It's a small feature, but I like it! :)

After six months of working on it daily, I'm proud to announce that Alpha Dog is finally released! This really has been a labour of love and I hope everyone enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it... As always, feedback and comments appreciated!
