New retro shooter - "Colosseum"
(submitted by Tylerbot on 2008-08-03 08:07:36) | |
| Tylerbot has been working on a new 2D project using only BlitzMax and open-source libraries, a retro-style game. It's called Colosseum because you're restricted to a relatively small area of the screen, evoking a "gladiator" atmosphere, but with a futuristic theme. Currently the game is unfinished, and is a non-finished "alpha" state, but is playable and good for some quick fun.
