"It is the year 3255, Humanity has conquered most of our solar system. We have lived in prosperity and established absolute power in the galaxy.
Until the day an anomaly came in the further reaches of our system.
A portal opened and unleashed beings we thought exist only in fiction. They wiped out every planet, defense stations and armadas we have. Only one ship survived and make its last stand against these dreadful beings."
Rage of the Galactic Beings is a tribute to old school arcade games, inspired by arcade legends such as Galaga, Space Invaders etc. You control a lone surviving ship fighting against a fleet of evil galactic beings in a quest to destroy everything in its path. The enemies are categorized in 3 colors (Red, Green, Blue), and can only be damaged by shooting them with the corresponding color. Hit them with a wrong color and you lose points.

Personal Note:
I started making this game because I was heavily inspired by locomalito's work on old school arcade games. I treated this game as my comeback to game development since my hiatus for 2 years. This game is not without its flaws, but I'm proud of how it turned out.
Ironic as it sounds, I enjoyed every minute of stressful coding, designing and effort I've put into this in a short amount of time. I hope you enjoy playing it too!
