I've finally been able to finish the demo! I was expecting an early next week release, but I'm going to be too busy this weekend and most of next week to do anything else to the game. The sounds aren't exactly final (they might be if you guys like the "chip effects," I know I do. There is no music yet.
Here's a quick side note.
Here's a bit of "Lost" 101 before you guys start playing the demo. Most of this is taken from my Ingame introduction, but that can just be skipped easily, so I wanted to post it with the demo.
Story:
The Reatta, a starship built in a drydock orbiting Earth has recieved a command to investigate a destructive platform which has a course set for Earth. This platform is codenamed "Lost" according to experts, they say these could be extra terrestrials that could not find their way home, found themselves in our quadrant of space. But these expert ideas were soon to be discovered as wrong as "Lost" was found at the destruction point of a planet full of life..
Controls:
Left/Right Keys--Move

Ctrl-------------Fire Current Weapon
Z----------------Sprint
`----------------Equip Nothing (really no point at all to this)
1----------------Equip Rifle
2----------------Equip Pistol
3----------------Equip Ethorean

Weapons/Powerups:
Automatic Rifle: Just another ordinary rifle used for killing things.
Pistol: Kills things faster than the automatic rifle.
Ethorean: Alien equivalent to the automatic rifle.
Green Battery: Fully restores your shielding.
Blue Battery: Makes you invisible to the eyes of the enemy.
Enemies:
Guard Elite:
Tall, fast, and easily unavoidable. Best option for killing one of these aliens is to shoot it down with your pistol. Don't get to close to one of these.
Repair Crew:
These little guys are pretty much oblivious of your presence on their ship. They are scrambling to fix the damage your ship, the "Reatta" has done to it. But they will become angry if you try to 'pet' it.
SecuriGuard:
They usually divide themselves into squads of four, and they're almost unstoppable. They don't want you on thier ship, and you don't want them in your vicinity.
Screenshots:
I'm hoping to get some critique from this, to help improve the game. Thanks.
