Mars Wars Episode 1

Mars Wars Episode 1 is a classic space top down shooter.

Episode 1 will be a top down shooter.
Episode 2 will be a side scrolling shooter, maybe with some top down view areas with land vehicles on control.
Episode 3 will go on foot, Alien Syndrome style.

All episodes will get a free Android and HTML5 web release and if the hype is good, I will make a deluxe 720p widescreen version of the trilogy for a major Windows PC release.

The story:

"It's the year 2167.
Humans established peace among each other and in order to secure their prosperity, they developed defensive weapons that can only be remotely controlled.
The elimination of war casualties as well as the advances on nanobiotic science, led to a massive increase of population.
Ethic groups forbidded the authorities on taking measures that will harm any human being, so the solution on the overpopulated planet of Earth was establishing colonies on planet Mars.
During the process of making Mars habitable, the LV427 space station was attacked by an unknown origins race of AI driven spaceships.
Thousands of small ships under command of motherships that draw power from an enormous structure called Dark Sun.
You are Captain Leo Blacksaf, a Peacemaker of the United Planets 'UP'.
Your goal is to remotely pilot your advanced warfighter spaceship to the heart of the enemy , the Dark Sun and destroy it.
A.N.A. 'Advanced Nanobiotic Assistant', a sofisticated AI system, will direct you during your mission.
Good luck."

This is the draft scenario of the game. It reveals that the spaceship we are controlling, is in fact an RC unmanned ship.

The gameplay:

Use the arrow keys to control the ship and hold space to shoot. All enemies are randomly created and recreated after destruction. After 200 enemy kills, the mothership uppears on screen.

Small enemies shoot small bullets, the mothership has 2 kinds of weapons: Large bullets and a death ray that occupies the width of the screen.

So far, there is only one weapon at your weaponry. It can be upgraded for a short time when you collect the bonus item. Holding the left mouse button will fire automatically.

Double click to elevate the ship and avoid bullets or enemies.

Of course this is a work in progress, so only one level is playable. After defeating the mothership, there is nothing more to do.
