Phelios Releases a Shooter Game, KAIJINPosted on Thursday, June 24, 2004 @ 04:19:01 am E.S.T
Phelios announced the release of their
Shoot 'em Up ("Shmup") game, Kaijin, another addition to their growing
list of games made with their own game engine, PTK.
Phelios' Patrice Krysztofiak wanted to create a new shmup taking retro
inspired qualities of a side scrolling game and adding his own modern
twists. His desire was for Kaijin to have the "feel" of a classic
Shmup, but improve on its performance and attributes by infusing content
never before seen in a game of its kind. For example, the weapon system
embraces the concept of having the power-ups tied to the health bar, so
in effect, the player really has one life but can extend it or reduce it
depending on his weapon power. Additionally, there's a "squid-like" bug
that lays eggs on the board, and if the player does not eliminate these
eggs promptly, they'll hatch into fluttering flies or other mutant bugs.
Another original feature of Kaijin is a Mega laser, which is a homing
laser using Bezier Splines so it looks like a "flexible pipe." This
latter element exploits the new feature just released in the game
engine, PTK.
About Kaijin
The Year is 2546 on Planet Terria.
For too long, genetically modified grown food and pollution from the
ocean and environment created a harmful impact on the natural food chain
of Planet Terria. Over time, the insects and ocean dwellers mutated in
wildly unusual ways and became stronger and more intelligent. Some began
to develop brain abnormalities, which resulted in an increased aptitude
of 5000% in their IQ's. As their new intellect grew, so did their
appetite for planet domination. They now feel that Terrians are their
Public Enemy Number One. So, they developed a secret army and are now
ready to eradicate theTerrians with all of their mutant force.
You and your ship, the "Kaijin" are the last hope for the Terrian
Kind...
