Gritty and minimalist shootemup. Addictive hunter-hunted dynamic that emerges when you scout out your next target on the minimap, chase them down, then risk being blown away once their abilities are revealed through combat. Motorcycle movement and physics is nicely executed.
It’s satisfying to slide in, blast the convoy, steal all the loot, then make a getaway before the escort riders can catch you.
Thanks! Yeah I still love this one and do wanna do more with it. I played around a bit already with some general improvements and also terrain gen. Definitely promise there if I ever get time ;)
DUDE! You must make another 2 games within the same world, the names…
“Die on rhea” the game follows the transition of the character from the original game after death.
and “Diner Rhea” uhh, I don’t know, make it one of those stupid simulation games that all the dummies seem to like where it’s really just working a job on a screen, but not getting paid (the important part is that the title sounds like diarrhea!)
This game is really cool and fun to play. The art is minimalistic but really nice to look at. The movement and combat is easy to learn but really fun to use. I had a great time figuring out different maneuvers and techniques to use in combat. My only real complaint is that the randomized upgrades can sometimes make singular runs really unfortunate to play through. In a lot of games I'd be doing well, but randomly all of the upgrades I'd pick up would downgrade like the same two stats. So I'd end up being so slow that I couldn't do anything before fuel ran out, or the cooling would be so bad that I could only shoot my gun twice before having to wait for it to stop overheating. The game's still really fun otherwise, but I just wish that the player could choose what stats get lowered with each level up. IDK take that with a grain of salt. Good Game!
The idea actually stemmed from thinking about how the genre of 2d topdown space games would work if they were *not* in space! I've been thinking about this game more recently... still would like to revisit it at some point. Maybe trying to bring some metagame elements from Sid Meier's Pirates! into the mix... Could be interesting but could see it ballooning into a pretty big project ;)
Hello, how exactly am I supposed to open this? I am using MacOS and I am confused as to why unzipping the downloaded file results in a folder with game data inside and nothing else?

Well done!

It’s already a satisfying jaunt, as is. Should you end up with a spare moment or two for updates and improvements, then I’m sure it’ll be a hoot.
Meanwhile, I made it to Level 27. I think by then my projectile was wider than my bike. :-D

This game really nails the movement, its really satisfying to speed across the dunes and drift in to attack convoys.
This is awesome! I can't put it down!
If you were to slow it down a lot and change the graphics for spaceships, you could easily make an awesome 2D topdown Expanse sim game!

Hi. Just looks like you downloaded the linux version accidentally.
this is cool, what would be fun is a "radio" feature, put mp3s in, and they'll play in the game.
