Background

This is a remake of game 7 from Active Enterprises' Action 52 NES compliation (video of the original), as part of the Action 52 Owns project.

I have tried to take a very bland top down scrolling shooter and turn it into an epic on the rails 3D shooter akin to Rez or Panzer Dragoon. I've kept a lot of elements from the original, especially in the first level, including the UFO ship following a road attacking coloured blobs and blocks and I've created some music that includes the original melody.

Obviouslly I've added a lot more on top and padded this out to a 4 level adventure taking the player across the galaxy.
