Aeronautical (LOOK AT US AND OUR WORD PLAY!)

By Gareth Williams (@garethiw) and Paul Yendley (@gredgie)

Chasing a dreaded group of cosmic horrors through time and space, you find yourself battling through air and sea to take down as many of their kind as you can!

If you encounter a problem, please leave a bug report with as much info as possible, and check back for a fix! We will rate the games of everyone that leaves a message!

Windows:

Should run on XP SP3+. Requires .NET 4. Might possibly need OpenAL installed if it fails to run. I've included the OpenAL redist installer.

Linux:

This has been tested on Linux Mint 14 (Cinnamon), you may need to install libSDL-mixer (sudo apt install libsdl-mixer1.2). Requires mono. If no joy, run from a terminal (mono Aeronautical.exe) and copy/paste the output into a comment.

Mac:

Tested working on Mavericks. The Pgup/Pgdn scaling keys cause the game to exit for some reason.

To play:

Use WASD/Arrows to boost

Use X/Space to shoot

(alternatively, try a 360 pad)

PageUp/PageDown sets the window size/scaling

There is a "boss" on Wave 6 (and repeated on certain waves thereafter), but we didn't get time to implement attack phases for it so it's kinda lame :]

Tools used:

C#/Monogame

Tiled

ASEPRITE

Photoshop

Audition

Sound effects from Freesound

Enjoy!
