Starblast Alpha

Starblast Alpha is a 2-D classic arcade video game combining both ping-pong and 2-D shoot ’em ups. Inspired by well-known titles such as Pong and Galaga, it is primarily based on old-style graphics and gameplay and was developed based on NES graphical and audio limitations (for the most part). Not much else to say on the game other than it's a product of an idea I conjured up one day.

(spoilers: it's already out.)

- STORY -

What story? It's an arcade game.

 

- GAMEPLAY -

You're given a space ship come built-in with a force field and a laser blaster. Your mission is to take down the enemy by any means necessary, either by shooting explosives or using the various power-ups provided, such as the Golden Bullet or the Trishot, shooting your way to victory! The two of you must balance a ball while soaring through the rapids of space. Miss the ball, loose the bullets. That simple. Don't worry, you can protect yourself!

 

- WHO'S BEHIND ALL THIS? -

 Deaven Binion (CardinalCoder64) is the creator, programmer, composer, and artist of the game. He's been programming games for a couple years now, but this is his first official game release.  Expect new titles to be announced from him in the future...
