I've been working on this from scratch on a little game project for the last 11 months.

Strafe : Air Support is inspired from my youth of Raid on Bungling bay on the C64 and the arcade 1942.

This is my first project since the days of the Amiga 1200 and will continue to build on it as I go. Building all the tools also from scratch, I have a dev build I publish every week to my friends on my facebook site - https://www.facebook.com/InsaneSoftware.com.au/

If enough interest, happy to continue to post progress here. Hoping to release for PC and XBox One sometime into the future. Still looking for artist and another Dev to accelerate development.

Youtube video - April Build - Version 0.39 (since then release builds are up to version 0.51)

Updated video I added today.

New version (0.53) available on Facebook site - Powersup now drop (Armour/Regen/Splitfire), so should be a little more fun. They have to be refined but it adds another gameplay dimension. A few other things added, but will leave that up to yourselves to find :)

Looking good :)
That battleship should make a good "boss fight"

I have to tone it down, the number of anti aircraft guns makes it suicide atm.

Hi, I make indie game reviews on youtube, could I review your game?

At the moment it's a very early demo, rather that I just publish on here. I believe I am more than 12 months from a completed first level (as Im doing this on my own with no assistance.) If I do end up getting some help on this, I will revisit but I don't think its in the best state for review.

sounds great. I'm totally up for it whenever you're ready!

Version 0.56 uploaded tonight with quite a few changes since the last post I made here. Enjoy, feel free to let me know how it runs. Interested to know performance on different machines.

Version 0.58 is up on the web site, enjoy. Enhanced graphics around water, still alot to do in this space, but the initial work is done.

As usual, link on the facebook site at top post.
