Space Knight
A downloadable game for Windows and Android
Title: Space Knight
Genre: Arcade / Vertical Scrolling Shooter & Defense
Description: An alien invasion is underway, and humanity has dispatched its last hope—a lone Space Knight—to take to the skies. In classic vertical-scrolling fashion, blast your way upward from the bottom of the screen through relentless waves of enemies. Completed in 2016, Space Knight was born from a deep love for 16-bit MD vertical shooters, blended with the intuitive logic of modern mobile controls. Shelved until now and finally making its public debut, this game aims to deliver the pure, unadulterated joy of retro arcade action straight to your hands. Space Knight delivers fast, non-stop action across 5 continuous stages. There are no breaks between levels, and if you fall in battle, you'll start over from the very beginning. However, the gems you've collected and any surviving defense turrets will carry over, giving you a permanent edge for your next run. No deep story—just you, the invaders, and a desperate fight to survive. Expect some mildly bizarre and unsettling elements in the later stages, but nothing too extreme. I hope you have a great time!
