Aliens tried to destroy humanity,
now is time for revenge !
Astral Crusade is a side scrolling Shoot'em up for the original Gameboy.
Astral Crusade started in mid january 2024. It's a one man project written in C with GBDK. The idea behind Astral Crusade is to build a side scrolling SHMUP with a bit of rogue lite feel. Before each level the player can spend hard earn credits to boost his spacecraft. The goal is to offer game style choices : would you play a quick hightech and fragile spacecraft or rather a slow, powerfull and resistant spacecraft. This is only one exemple.
AI was used during game development, specificaly in artwork. More on that in an upcoming devlog.
