Archaist | | |
English:
A vertically scrolling exploration / shoot'em up game, a remake of David Lubar's 1984 game Pastfinder.
For 1 or 2 players.
In this game you are in the driving seat of a leaper - a light exploration vessel not completely unsimilar to a four-legged spider. Your objective is to locate and collect artifacts and bring them to automated recovery stations previously air-dropped in the area. Your edge is a Mark VII "Amiable" Automatic Missile Assembler kept to yourself from a previously successful run. Use it liberally to punch holes in anything that looks dangerous.
Story:
It's the year 8848 and humanity is slowly recovering from millennia of nuclear wars, environmental catastrophes and an alien invasion or two. Most of the world is rendered uninhabitable by radioactive fallout and malfunctioning defense systems from long forgotten conflicts. These ruins of past civilizations are a goldmine for a people turning technology into religion. There's never a shortage of treasure hunters and daredevils venturing into uncharted lands in the hope of striking it rich. Though some bring powerful relics that could change the world, remarkably few return at all. The elite few that do are universally revered and known simply as Archaists. The rest are dead.

Player 1: Arrows (or WASD) + Space (or Ctrl)
Player 2: IJKL (or 8,4,6,2) + Enter (or 0)
