Lost Minds has released a new game for Mac gamers, AstroSquid. AstroSquid is an arcade style game featuring a squishy alien spaceship on its way to destroy Earth. The side-scrolling gameplay objective is to destroy enemy craft and scenery while scoring points. According to Lost Minds:
We at Lost Minds are proud to announce the release of our latest shareware game, AstroSquid.
The game is the first release using our new OpenGL based sprite-engine that allows for high performance graphics with real-time scaling and anti-aliasing.
Take the role of a purple alien thing that kinda looks like a squid and pilot your way towards Earth in a quest to destroy mankind. Causing lots of destruction along the way is of course a way to make the trip less dull.
You pilot your purple jelly craft in a classic sidscrolling space shooter, destroying enemy crafts and scenery as well as picking up weapon power-ups and extra lives along the way.
Features:
- Smooth scaling, transparacies and anti-aliased sprites
- A whole bunch of sidescrolling arcade space shooter levels
- Multi-channel stereo panning sound
- Four weapon systems each with four upgrade levels and a special attack
- Lots of explosions and particles
- Original Mp3 music soundtrack
- Really unexpected ending
