Even though it states "work in progress", it looks already polished. Gives me the feeling of a slick 80s arcade.
Interesting overall history of the game, from early 80s to this version... and for Linux in mid-90s? That's cool.
Thank you!
The 80's (or possibly early 90's) arcade feel is indeed what I'm going for, or rather, what might have happened if someone with a huge budget were to build a machine around that time. Multilayer parallax scrolling, hundreds of sprites, scaling/warping effects, lots of sound chips etc - expensive, but all technically possible with hardware available back then.
