📜️ "blabla" 📜️

Hydorah is a indie shoot'em up released by Locomalito in 2010 to Windows platform.
This project is a attemp to port this game to GNU/Linux platform.

Help Needed
I'm looking for people that want to help to port this game to Linux/OpenPandora/other systems (any OS with C compiler and SDL libraries).
This game is ported in my free time, so there are days that I can't work in the code (you can see changes to the code here).
If you can help to this project (coding, or work with graphics, or music!) please contact me ! More people involved, more quickly this port will be a reality !.

Take the controls of your ship and prepare to die!

Choose the path to follow and fight planet by planet against hordes of meroptians. Hydorah features lots of short and intense levels with fantasy spacial landscapes, unlockable weapons, secrets, and a large library of enemies and bosses. There is a single dificulty level, based on the 80's standards. It can be hard, but with every beaten level there will come the glory.

Graphics and playability are both old school style, simple but hard polished. I want to give an special mention to the huge original soundtrack, composed exclusively by the brilliant Gryzor87, who has not hesitated in taking legendary synthesizers to create a retrofuturistic, powerful and sometimes dark soundtrack. Each level has a same-length track, composed to fit the visuals like a glove.

The whole game takes obvious influence from Gradius, Castlevania or R-Type, but also from other classics treated worse by the time: Turrican, Enforcer, Space Manbow, Hellfire, Guardian, Hydefos, Armalyte and many others...

Think of this game as a bastard son of the classics: it has the genes, but it's not a clone of one or other. It has a lot of original content, so I hope you understand my intentions when you notice something familiar with the old times ;-)

📕 Description [fr]

Un shooter spatial à défilement latéral oldschool très soigné, par le studio Locomalito, Gryzor87 (bande son), portage Linux : dvl, esakafor, e...@espipinxo.com, Ant & OpenHydorah Team (Ian T. Jacobsen).

Hydorah est un shooter spatial à défilement latéral oldschool, dans lequel le joueur prend les commandes d'un vaisseau spatial, affrontant toutes sortes d'ennemis dans des décors somptueux et sur une bande son digne des plus grands hits !

Prenez les commandes de votre vaisseau et préparez-vous à mourir !

Choisissez le chemin à suivre et combattez planète par planète contre des hordes de meroptians.
Hydorah comporte un bon nombre de niveaux courts et intenses avec des paysages fantastiques spatiaux, des armes à débloquer, des secrets, et une grande bibliothèque d'ennemis et de boss.
Un seul niveau de difficulté, basé sur les normes des années 80. Il peut être difficile, mais avec tous les niveaux vaincus viendra la gloire.

Les graphismes et la jouabilité sont dans un style vieille école, simple mais très soignés.
Je veux donner une mention spéciale à l'énorme bande originale, composée exclusivement par le brillant Gryzor87, qui n'a pas hésité à prendre des synthétiseurs légendaires pour créer une bande-son retro-futuriste, puissante et parfois sombre.
Chaque niveau a une piste de même longueur, composée pour s'adapter comme un gant aux visuels.

L'ensemble du jeu tire son inspiration de manière évidente de jeux tels que Gradius, Castlevania et R-Type, mais aussi d'autres classiques traités maltraités par le temps : Turrican, Enforcer, Space Manbow, Hellfire, Guardian, Hydefos, Armalyte et bien d'autres.

Pensez à ce jeu comme à un fils héritier des classiques : il en a les gènes, mais ce n'est pas un clone de l'un ou l'autre. Il a beaucoup de contenu originaux, alors j'espère que vous comprenez mes intentions quand vous remarquez quelque chose de familier avec les anciens temps ;-)
