This shooter is inspired by childhood shooters, which were difficult, unforgiving, fast pased shooters.
Creating an old school SHMUP with modern tools has been a Blast.
XAleste does not aspire to be a clone of games passed, it's all about recreating the feel of '90s shooters.
The latest update contains a Upgrade and Pause menu.
Also... Since it had been snowing here in the Netherlands inspiration struck and developement on scene 3-1 had started.
Instructions: WSAD to move, H to shoot, Space to boost.
note: stage 3-1 is under construction.
WSAD to move, H to shoot, SPACE to boost & ESC to pause.
This update to XAleste brings the Life system, the player can retry the current level until all lives are lost.
Boosting, turning the player invisible for a short period. Some enemies can be destroyed while boosting
Also; the game can now be paused, better preformance, scaleable with different screen size.
This project is all about the player, I have busy setting up an easy method of becoming a tester and give feedback. Check back soon to join my team of testers and help shape XAleste!
All feedback will be evaluated, useful features requests and bugs reports will be put on the backlog.
For now, please enjoy the latest build of XAleste.
WSAD to move, H to shoot, SPACE to boost & ESC to pause.
