Mayday is an atmospheric/action side-scroller sci-fi with simplistic gameplay. You control an Ark, awakened by a distress call from a nearby colony on Titan. Fly deep underground, rescue the colonists, fight hostile entities spawning from the Titan Exawatt Collider and prevent the singularity to become the Hero of the Solar System. Exploration & action in a straight-to-the point no frills indie package.
Gameplay:
Every collision damages your Ark, unless you have a Shield power-up. Holding down Fire charges up your blaster for a more powerful shot. Holding the Homing button will steady the Ark for better aiming.
Combining Shield with Dash transforms your Ark into a bullet ramming through anything (Black holes/singularities are still a threat).
Timeshift power-up slows down everything around you for 10 seconds.
Gamepad controls are advised (which activate instantly when a gamepad connects, otherwise keyboard controls are active).
The game is a one-man passion project, inspired by a game called Killer Watt on the Commodore 64, but grown into its own world in the process. I am open to modifying difficulty based on player feedback.
