Its been awhile since I posted about this game on these forums. It has changed quite a bit since then so I figured I'd make a new thread.

Controls

Default controls are mapped to the keyboard. Movement controls are mapped to the arrow keys and fire is mapped to the 'Z' key. To activate your shield press the 'X' key on the keyboard. The controls may be changed in the Options menu under "Controls" by pressing the 'Esc' key anytime during gameplay. You may also use a gamepad to play this game.

Note: Please use the mouse to select the gamepad map and keyboard mapping menus.

Gameplay

Wings of Apocalypse sports much of the same gameplay mechanics as many other shoot ups but with a twist! Each character in the game has Deflector Shield in which he or she may deflect enemy attacks of the same color. For example; Naomi's Deflector Shield is Red, therefore she may only deflect Red enemy fire!

Depending on which character you choose, the difficulty of the game will change. Although the environment is exactly the same for each character, the opportunity to deflect enemy attacks are not. If the player chooses Roger he/she will be able to deflect almost all attacks because there are usually more blue enemies in the game. In other words Roger is easy difficulty, Bryan medium and Naomi Hard.

Known Issues

-On some system configurations Wings of Apocalypse has been known to perform poorly after the initial installation. If you are experiencing this, restart your computer to fix the problem.

-Performance is significantly decreased when the SLI feature is enabled for Nvidia video cards

-Wings of Apocalypse does not scroll properly when the SLI feature is enabled for Nvidia video cards

-If you use your keyboard or gamepad to select the keyboard or gamepad mapping menus you may have issues with your controls. A quick fix is to always select the keyboard or gamepad mapping menus with the mouse

-Windowed mode doesn't always work properly

OMG It's a Java game, I was waiting to see some Java game developers here and you are the first :) RIGHT ON! ;)

I like the game, the 3D environment, and the overall gameplay!
Though it would be nice if bosses flash with red tint or something whenever I hit them.

TruFun is a Java developer, then again he programs for everything anyway :lol:

Yeah, the game looks pretty good from the screen shots, I hope the project continues to progress well, I was very impressed by the original videos on the post from a few months back.

Wow yeah.. thats a long list of projects under his belt. Pretty awesome!

BTW, after lookin at that video and seeing Tempest, it reminds me that I've developed a game called "Radial Gun" for the Xbox 360/PC that uses a similar mechanic. You can check it out on my blog... and maybe I'll make a new post here about it.

Glad you like the gameplay. And yes I agree with you about the bosses and enemies. Its on my list of things to implement.
