Testbed: Bird of Prey
Arcade Action :: Airborne Shooter
This mini-game testbed demo was derived from an attempt to compete in the Mindset game competition via Game.Dev a while back.
We never got enough done in time to actually enter, but it was great fun for all of us to do some serious work together - and we got enough done that it prompted us to showcase our work at the Tide media rAge expo.
Scenario
Bird of Prey pits the player (an ace military helicopter pilot) against hordes of advanced robotic tanks and drone aircraft. Using only nerves of steel, lightning reflexes and an advanced helmet-mounted sight, the player must defeat the automated enemy as it advances on your front lines...
The demo will provide a simple arcade, top-down "platform-style" gameplay with a mixture of keyboard and mouse required for navigation and targeting.
Be careful - the drones are souless and merciless!
