Space Hero - Alpha Centuri
A downloadable shoot 'em up for Windows
Planet Earth at some point in the future.
The world has finally united into one massive fiasco of a nation run by incompetent overprivileged elite who take from the poor and give to the rich. How they won the world wide general elections for the last 7 decades is a mystery to the few who have been mentally well ..... errr not gullible.... to see that they were just talking bull **** all through the past umpteen election campaigns.
And that’s not all. The world itself faces yet another threat ...... yet again from some pesky alien bad guys... from some other planet/galaxy/dimension or other.... somewhere or when. Over some stupid dispute between their idiot government and that of our dear home planet (about match fixing in the Intergalactic Cyborg Football Association.... or whatever they have in the future).... Like I say.... its in future... oh I dunno. A couple of centuries or so in the future. It doesn’t really matter. It’s just a shoot ‘em up.
Now the government could have sent an entire legion of star trooper warriors, intergalactic battle cruisers etc.
But where would be the sport in that? I mean come on there wouldn’t be any story if the odds where even. Nor s as my sort of video game neither.
Surely only a lone pilot in an underpowered batted up second rate fighter ship could defeat such an onslaught? I mean that’s how it usually works in these games right? So to cut a long story short.... well, guess who drew the short straw? Yep you guessed it. Anyway look on the bright side you get a holiday from Earth for a while. See the sights of space. You get to pilot a fighter ship. See the galaxy. Blast aliens. Put your life in danger for something you had nothing to do with in the first place. Shame really these alien dudes, were probably all-round decent folk who just got roped into it for fear of being terminated.
Features
There’s a few cool power ups to collect. Space currency too. So you can pay to upgrade your ship. Belonging to the Space Age Earth Defence Corps. What the hey? By the time you get back through the hyperspace wormhole then all your boring mates you drink with down the pub will be wizend old men anyway and you’ll be able to out drink them pint for pint finally. Plus the next few elections will probably be over. And a few of your equally sad Space dork mates were speculating on the Space Social Media that a better government. Would be in power by then.
So let’s have some fun and start blasting.
Cannons blazing. Fight your way your way through wave after Wave of vicious alien blast-ards.
