Opera GX Offline

Opera GX Offline is an 8 bit 'Shoot em up' that uses a Master System colour palette to give it that old retro vibe. Features music from nene and sound effects from hosch.

Story

All over the world technology is relying heavily on cloud based online systems to protect the earth from potential invasion. Computers monitor our skies and connect to weapon based AI systems which communicate with other computer algorithms which assess the potential threat and act accordingly all under the watch of a human correspondent.

At 0615 hours , UFO's were monitored heading towards earth. 0700 hrs online capability's were lost and we are now blind to what's going on.

We are calling on you to destroy the UFO's and bide us time unitl we can re-establish online communications.

Development:

Started well, but had some issues with the 'step' event which caused some delay as i tried to work around a few things that didn't work as i expected them to. These delays left me rushing to finish the game to have something playable. So many things didn't get implemented or were missed. Overall i got most things done that were important to the game jam brief, although i would of like a more polished visual score indication at this stage. I wouldn't expect anyone to play any longer than 5-10 mins whilst testing, so for now i think there is enough here to show some potential at least.

No updates will be made until after the jam results.

To Play:

Click yellow chequered box on game screen( this was not removed from game)

Then Click 'Push Start' button to start game.
