CTHULHU: Frozen Nightmare by Virtua Worlds
Lovecraftian Space Harrier meets Ikaruga action game!

Cthulhu waits dreaming... Until some bizarre cultists in the far north awaken him. Use your aircraft to put Cthulhu back into his icy slumber or die trying!

We made this game for the Unreal Engine Spring 2020 Game Jam in less than 5 days! We really tried to push the retro aesthetic and mood.

We would really appreciate feedback and comments, it's so difficult to get them on the game page!




Overall, incredible game! The music is sooo good, honestly the best part of the game. It just oozes retro vibes. However, I cannot comment on gameplay mechanics, because I was unable to play the game (my computer would shut down a few seconds after launch, which I believe is a problem with my computer and not the game). What I comment on from the footage is that while the game feel is good, it could be a bit better. I love the mix between 2d and 3d, but for me personally I like a more 3d feel to these types of games. I can see that there is much more leaning towards a 2d look. A 3d look would be like the camera moving a bit with the player, or some screen shake when shooting bullets. Otherwise, the game looks really cool and I would love to play it!
