I have released a Demo of "Citadel Stormer 2", a 2D action platformer that I have been working on

Hi! I'd like to present my upcoming 2D platformer "Citadel Stormer 2". It's inspired by classic shooters like Megaman and Contra that I played while growing up.

I'm pretty happy with the way it's coming along. I am a novice when it comes to programming (even though I have been dabbling with Game development for the last couple of years). But through youtube tutorials, advice from experienced programmers and some experimentation I was able to create the game's basic mechanics and foundation. I'm still fine tuning things but I believe I have a working game on my hands. :)

As far as the game's story is concerned, I haven't fleshed it out, but I've decided it's going to be about an evil AI and killer robots.

Here are some GIFs showing what the game looks like:

Current game features:

  • Simple straightforward old-school 2D platformer action.
  • Fight using 3 different guns with varying attack damage. (More guns will be added!)
  • Avoid hazards - instadeath spikes, electric bolts etc.
  • Fight a variety of robot enemies.
  • Game save and load.

If you're interested, you can download the demo at these locations:

Thank you!
