Update 1 (5/9/2017)- AWOL Ahab is a pixel art horizontal shmup that I started working on about 3 weeks ago. I am working on turning the first level into a pre-alpha demo. You play Dolphin pilot Captain Ahab as he goes Absent With Out Leave during an interplanetary war to retrieve a forbidden weapon called the White Whale. You start out with a fast but frail ship and get the option to pilot the powerful White Whale later in the game.

Below is a what I have at the moment.

Update 2 (5/12/2017)- Tested the scoring system. It works fine. I will probably make a custom font to replace the current numbers. I might need a new gif encoder too. The damage/defense/game over system is all that is left before the pre-alpha demo is finished. I would like to add a better song to it though.

Update 3 (5-15-2017)

The Pre Alpha Demo is now available on Itch.io and Gamejolt.

Download it. It is free.
