]]> 15 Sep 2007 05:23:45 The Terror is a top down vertical scrolling arcade shooter. Worlds have been destroyed and panic is growing. Hired by the UDA you play as Frex Maine, a mercenary, who pits his wits against a terrorist organization that will stop at nothing to get what they want. The game features 9 scrolling levels, 5 large bosses and the story is shown through in game cut scenes.

]]> 09 Mar 2007 08:18:10 Well, after quite a bit of work on JumpStart and one of its demos Tank Brigade I have decided to release the demo as a full working game. Basically its a single level game built around JumpStart. The Map to play on is randomly selected from a set list (currently 4 maps) and play exists of you trying to destroy all of the enemies on the screen. Some maps are generated procedurely and some are hard coded.

In the relased version sound is supported (turned off by default, turn it on in the options screen). I'll warn you now that the sound can get a bit annoing. Luckily you can press escape, go to options, turn it off, back, and resume game.

Graphics are completely from SpriteLib GPL. If anyone wants to take the time to create real graphics for the game I'd be happy to add them in and add on a credits screen.
