Hey guys! Since we're in between competitions once more at the moment I decided to throw together a little Metroid clone using unrestricted graphics and controls, etc. simply for my own pleasure! I used the game concepts from my "uLTRa MeGa GiRL" demo and hacked an engine I dug up off the net in conjunction with a Random Automatically Generated Environment (R.A.G.E.) system that I designed so you can immediately hop into some hard-core Metroid action!

This is not your typical Metroid clone. It is a side-scrolling shooter / platform hybrid.

What does Samus Aran do in her downtime in between missions?
Why, work-out in a virtual reality chamber, of course!



You command Samus Aran as she blasts her way through a
Random Automatically Generated Environment.
This is called the R.A.G.E. training system.

Samus will always be moving towards the goal.

Controls:

Jump: Spacebar
Dash: Shift
Beam attack: Right Mouse
Missiles: Left Mouse

Collect Chozo Orbs to power-up and upgrade.
The game automatically saves when you pick up a Chozo Orb.



-Select Beam: Increases range of normal attack-
-Select Missiles: Increases range of missile attack-
-Select Energy: Gain an energy tank-
-Select Metroid: Obtain a Metroid guardian pet-

You should now know everything you need to get started!



also keep an eye on my homepage at http://www.sycx1.com for more information about this game as I take it out of the "demo" stage to a more developed version with multiple levels.

Metroid™ IS Nintendo's copyright(and trade mark).

Copyright law works slightly different than most people realize.

Its not LICENSED by Nintendo, though, sadly!

It was not DEVELOPED by and is not SUPPORTED by Nintendo though, either.

=)

Basically, I have no right to sell this game(and I have no intent to do so), but I own the majority of the source code.

I would LOVE a developer's kit for the new Nintendo DS-3D.. So I could legitimately develop and sell games to support the Nintendo cause!

The hybrid platform/side-scrolling-shooter game play mechanics are taken from an earlier game of mine.

I will be re-releasing a different version of this game(once the kinks are worked out) that is a theme of my own design as opposed to Metroid themed.

Thinking a zombie theme or something generic along those lines so I don't have to credit part of the copyright to anyone else.

At the moment part of the physics engine(as well as some of the Metroid related sprites, etc) comes from the TEP GM6 engine that is available freely on the internet.

edit: dear moderator, can you please move this thread to the "shooter" category? it probably belongs there. you decide(its more shooter than platform).
