Wings of Megaira Team Freakout 2005

This is an official entry of the 2005 Independent Games Festival in the student showcase, and was designed and built by four (4) esteemed colleagues here at RIT. The made-for-Windows game is a classically styled top-down shooter in which you control a fighter ship against fast-moving waves of alien enemies. Along with the standard single-player mode, it offers two player cooperative play on the same computer using keyboard or joystick. The game offers up a variety of weapons and special features to keep the action blazing across the screen, or suspended in time. Lasers will light things up with their awesome mind-blowing power, and time shift will slow all enemies to a snail's pace, thus giving you the upper hand in battle. You start off with just a machine gun, and before you can use more powerful weapons you must absorb the soul of the enemy-effectively stealing their weapon. Red enemies carry machine guns, blue enemies carry lasers, and green carry grenades. Other power-ups are also available along the way. Although the game's environments are rendered in full 3D, the game controls in a simple 2D fashion. Players have access to three types of weapons that grow more powerful with use, allowing for multiple play styles and strategies. Although outfitted with a machine gun to begin with, players can steal the souls of their enemies, which takes the enemy's weapon type. The weapon type an enemy carries is illustrated by the color of that enemy, red being a machinegun type, blue a laser type, and green a grenade type. Powerups will also appear in the midst of an enemy's destruction to aid the player towards their goal. Players can also activate a shift in time, when the world slows down to a crawl while the player massacres the momentarily sluggish enemies. The number of enemies destroyed during a time shift multiplies the payoff.
