Edit | Okay, I'm currently working on my newest unnamed PC game. It is a shooter that has automatic scrolling to the right. At the moment, I have health, lives, 2 enemies and asteriods, your ship, and a health powerup. However, there's more. Enemies will drop cash which you can later use in stores to buy weapon upgrades such as double and triple shot weapons, missiles, and extra lives. There will also be boss characters, as well as boundaries that you can crash into (so your ship can traverse through a base, etc.) I currently have no plot (there should be one soon) and no title screen, as well as no name. I'd love name suggestions, as "Shooter" is very, very, VERY lame. :)
Also, because you bothered to read this, I think there may be a debugging code left in Tank Invasion! that I forgot to take out. By pressing the K key against the first boss, you will kill him instantly. (That's a good thing, considering that I seem to be the only person who can defeat him legitimately...) I'm gonna leave it in just because people are gonna ask for cheats, most probably. |

Edit | No, no demos yet. And yes, it is similar to Mercury (Pheonix 2) for the calc, though it will have a shop similar to Pheonix's (with graphics too). Each boss will be different, however, and have different attack patterns. For example, I plan to have the first boss be a giant robot that stands on a platform. He jumps and launches a steel ball at the ship, and he can't be hurt unless he has just thrown the ball. (He has a shield. He's also Knight Man from MM6... <_< :) )
You also have to keep up with a scrolling screen that can crush you behind asteriods and obsticals, and you don't scroll with the screen. So you are forced to move to the right or be pushed to the left. (Though, nothing happens when you hit the left side.)
But then again, isn't Pheonix just like the arcade Galaga? :) |

Edit | Now, it looks like the ship in Shooter PC, but I will probably change it. Right now, The Games Factory (the software I use) is giving me problems. :( |
