“Alaric’s Journey” is a spinoff of the Nova Boltstar series, following Alaric’s quest to save his sister Nova from Metagitis by finding the Starflower. Alongside allies like Lollie, players navigate a Game Boy-styled adventure, battling the robot pirate Captain Krudd and rescuing Alaric’s girlfriend Anya Garcia. The game is controlled using the keyboard: space to advance cutscenes, arrow keys and space to select characters in the character choosing menu, Z to jump, X to attack, and C to throw allies. You can break crates for items and power-ups, and confront Captain Krudd in a boss fight at the end of each level, and even unlock a new ally!
