Zirthian is a shoot-'em-up arcade-style side-scroller with cool mechanics and even cooler game art, with a release planned for winter 2020.
Game website:http://www.zirthian.qubiqinteractive.ca



The current build: Alpha 0.5



Zirthian is a shoot-'em-up arcade-style side-scroller with cool mechanics such as procedurally generated world, lots of different weapons and defensive abilities and enemies that have life-like behaviours like charging at you at hight speed, shielding each other, etc.

As the game story progresses, your character gets away from a close-minded society of their home planet, Zirth, conquers his/her own demons and becomes a part of an inter-galactic society that helps aliens in need. For me, this is as much a software project as it is an art project - I am writing the story, drawing all the graphics by hand and I'm making some sound effects and music too.

• Explosions: Watch enemy ships blow up and their pilots fall frantically to their death
• A procedurally - generated world: Terrain, enemies, power-ups - nothing stays the same as you replay a level

Cublets (https://www.zirthian.qubiqinteractive.ca/enemies/cublet) fly at slow speed, shooting lasers at their enemy.

Background:
Pilots who are in for a nice and cushiony job in the Zirthian army often choose to fly these if they can. What Cublets lack in maneuverability, they make up for in safety and comfort. A large cockpit means plenty of space to relax in during those boring patrol missions. Because of their slower movement speed, Cublets are usually easy targets for the enemy.

In Zirthian (https://www.zirthian.qubiqinteractive.ca), you choose your own play style by mixing and matching different weapons (https://www.zirthian.qubiqinteractive.ca/weapons). Main weapons are fired quickly and have less damage. Special weapons have a recharge time but cause more havoc.

You can choose between a laser and a neutron gun as your main weapon, each with 10 unique styles. Laser is a rapid-fire weapon great for fast action. Neutron gun can only be fired once per second but has double the damage and a larger spread. What would your choice be?

Rams (https://www.zirthian.qubiqinteractive.ca/enemies/ram) charge at the enemy, trying to destroy it in a collision.

Background:

Those who managed to survive long enough as Seeker pilots get to fly Rams. These ships are heavier and slower than Seekers, but can also withstand more enemy fire. Because of their upgraded armour, they are great at effectively head-butting their enemies. A direct hit with smaller aircrafts often results in their total destruction, while Rams fly home safely for repairs. It is said that Ram pilots have no fear and others choose to avoid them if they can.

Tribots (https://www.zirthian.qubiqinteractive.ca/enemies/tribot) overwhelm in deadly swarms that hover in the air

Background:

Tribots were originally designed for extending communication arrays in hard-to-reach places on Zirth. Because of their collective intelligence, and relatively small size, they were later deployed in combat to swarm enemies in large numbers. While a single Tribot is not hard to destroy, it takes a good pilot to be able to shoot through a group of them. Because of the low cost of manufacturing, it is always worth to let a few Tribots get destroyed if it means the death of an enemy of Zirth.
