Thank you for the feedback! I am currently setting up a demo-version on Steam. A downloadable version should soon be available there.

ZiG GAMES10 days ago

I’ve spent the last year developing a 2D retro arcade action game that I’m really proud of—heavily inspired by Thrust on the Commodore 64.

I’ve just released a playable demo here on itch.io.

What’s in the demo

A 5-level tutorial
A campaign with 5 larger levels

How it plays The game is quite challenging at first. You pilot a small spacecraft with the keyboard while constantly fighting gravity. Once the controls click, flying feels great—especially as you combine precise maneuvering with shooting and dropping bombs. You also have a tractor beam that’s essential for picking up fuel, ammo, bombs, shields, upgrades, and—most important—the mysterious orbs. To finish a level, retrieve the orb hidden deep in the caves and carry it back to space.

What’s next I’m planning a full release with more and bigger campaigns in the new year.

I’d love your feedback after you play—thanks for trying the demo!

Good luck, pilot!
