Project AstroDERP

Created for the first-ever National Game Development Month - and absent from the Internet since the NaGaDeMo repository went down - this homage to one of the most iconic of games for the original 16-bit console was painstakingly developed to capture the feel of the classic single-screen shmup while giving it all the advantages of modern hardware (except for audio) and modern game design: 60fps, dynamic speed adjustment and a score multiplier based on player skill, and a very silly story.

Though a fully-playable game, complete with ending, it is effectively only a prototype of a more robust design that, despite how much I'd love to see it finished someday, is on indefinite hiatus unless and until I can afford to work on it again. I just feel like it's been missing for too long, so if it interests you, here it is to download again (or for the first time!).
