OBELUS - Arcade Boss Rush

In OBELUS, a bold robot battles three gargantuan alien monsters to protect the fate of a united earth.

Created as a school project in 2013, Obelus was our wish come true to make a traditional arcade game, but with newer technologies like terrain destruction and lots of visual polish.

The emphasis was on battles with huge bosses, as we pictured a David and Goliath-like battle would suit the difficult arcade vibe.

OBELUS features:

• Three boss battles with increasing difficulty and scale
• Three weapons available as pick-ups in levels
• A strict scoring system judging time and effectiveness
• Weird robot-animal monsters on a strange planet
• Some kind of story

Controls:

• A & D: Move left/right
• Space: jump/rocket jump (fancy word for double jump)
• Arrow keys: shoot (8 directions)

The downloadable version is from 2013, so by no means consider it a living project. The game was made by Tony Fial, Thomas Jager, Freek Verheijde and Harm-Jan Wiechers.
