About This Game
ATOMANTA
●Overview
Step into the role of Taria Takara, a space pirate on a mission to recover a highly valuable artifact hidden on the planet Azavuraz. Armed with the powerful Atomic Manta warship, Taria finally has a chance to claim the bounty and pay off the debts from her previous handlers.
Atomanta is a retro-styled vertical shoot em-up inspired by various Mega Drive and arcade titles from the '90s. Atomanta strives to combine the old-school visuals of pixel art with a more modern approach of a faster bullet hell experience.
Atomanta may be designed to bring a nostalgic journey, but there's also a ranking system that encourages a more aggressive play style!
●Features
Fight through 8 unique stages!
Pick between 3 different starting loadouts.
Discover up to 15 secret weapons and 4 alternate paths.
Enjoy beautifully crafted retro pixel art and upbeat synth tunes!
Challenge yourself with hard mode, or uncover the hidden hyper mode.
Engage in a ranking system that encourages honing your skill.
●Gameplay
Players can choose between three starter weapons at the beginning of the run and can upgrade them up to 3 times with power-ups
Weapons can be swapped via special options to change playstyle, set to max power.
Player has a small glowing hitbox to make dodging easier.
The player ship does not lose power-ups when it is destroyed.
Focus mode is attached to the rail gun, using a laser sight to help line up shots
Bombs cancel bullets and deal massive damage across the screen, and their damage can be upgraded with secret pickup options, but it doesn't carry over between stages.
Ship speed and mobility are gradually faster depending on the difficulty
(higher difficulty, more speed and mobility)
●Notes
- The trailer is not a complete representation of the final product, so expect enemy placements and details in stages may be slightly different on release.
- Supports Xbox, PlayStation, keyboard, and third-party controllers, but mainly focuses on Xbox controller users.
This game has been made with the power of SHMUP Creator! An incredible tool for creating Shoot 'Em Up genres.
I'd like to thank the community and everyone who has been involved in helping me to make this game a reality!
●Credits
Special thanks to RAIT Studio for creating such amazing cover art and character design for the protagonist and to Falah for bringing the character avatar to life in-game. Lastly, I'd like to thank Kaitlyn Walker for providing her awesome voice for the project!
