Project One
By MausGames | TBD
Take your ship and start to fight!
A massive energy blast of unknown origin tore the structure of the universe apart and created a path to another dimension. This hole released a powerful darkness and corrupted everyone and everything. Now the remaining beings fight each other, attracted by this mysterious force, to acquire it or to get consumed by it - and you are one of them.
Project One is a vertically scrolling boss-only shoot'em up with colorful and distinct graphics.
The game is still under development and will focus on unique and challenging boss-fights with different mechanics and patterns. Every boss will provide a new experience for the player and will force him to the limits of his skills.
On your journey to the source of darkness you can unlock new weapons and upgrades, find companions, collect mysterious fragments and more. Try to get the best score as possible or play with a friend on the same computer and fight your way to the final boss.

Latest News: Project One v0.8.6 - Enemy Groups are back
0 comments by MausGames on Apr 30th, 2013
Enemy Groups and Fragments of Darkness
The new version of Project One features something from a very early release of the game, which was later removed - Enemy Groups.
After beating the last boss of an area, you unlock the Classic Run mission. There you fight against various groups of enemies with different attacks and behaviors. In between are the bosses and mission events, which will challenge you throughout the entire run.
In this game type, bosses don't drop power items, (currently) every 6th destroyed enemy does. You retain your power level until the end of the mission up to a maximum of 300%. At this point the whole fighting gets really fast and intense. To make it a bit more fair, bosses drop repair items, which regenerate some of your armor.
Rewards for those missions are not yet implemented, but the first Classic Run and first three bosses are unlocked from the beginning in the current version to test them. (equipment from those bosses is not unlocked)

Another big change is the implementation of the Fragments of Darkness (or dark bullets).
Some of the standard-bullets the enemies and bosses shoot are dark now. You can collect them and instead of getting damage you increase your score multiplier. When reaching x10.0 you enter darkmode and get increased firerate and reduced collision range.
Every damaging hit you take halves your multiplier, and dropping below x5.0 removes the darkness again. You benefit more from the fragments when outside of darkmode and doing damage also increases your multiplier.

@scheingame I don't mean it bad, but it looks like the one in the back farted you into unconsciousness. :D

That good feeling, when you finally find a software-bug after hours of searching.

Need to buy a Wii U and play every Zelda I missed since the Gamecube era. I just hope my employer won't notice my absence.

@knitetgantt I heard of T.co which works like that. I have no exp and it's only 2D, but it might be of interest to you.

Hi MausGames You SHould Add French Language
Je ne parlent pas français
This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
Hi, the coop mode is available since the 2013-05-13 update after the introduction. You can activate it on the upper left area of the main menu (see latest screenshot).
It's still the first implementation, it may change on the next update.
- Martin
Another Ideas!
MausGames You Should Add These?
Added Easy Diffculty Mode! (Bullet Spawns Lower By 50% And You Get Taken 50% Damage From Normal Mode)
Added 3 Lives (If You Get Destroyed It Says Mission Failed Instead Of Respawning Thats Take One Lives Left)
Changed Versus Mode (Now With PVP!)
Multiplayer Coop Can Unlock Missions Instead Some In Single Player
Added Restart Button On Pause
Hi MausGames You Should Remove Local Coop? I Hate A Local Coop But I Like Multiplayer Coop
Other Suggested!
You Should Add Save Data (No Save Data When Launching Game!)
Added Real Dark Bullet (Only In Dark Mode!)
Hi Backdraft_3.5,
I already answered you to the topics "multiplayer" and "save data".
- Martin
I love local Coop, Not enough games have it and the fact this one does really appeals to me, May I ask how it may affect you backdraft?
You Can Add These Features?
1.You Should Remove Mouse Control Should Be Keyboard Control! (See Controls)
Up - Up Arrow
Down - Down Arrow
Left - Left Arrow
Right - Right Arrow
Z - Fire Weapon
X - Launch Bomb
Esc - Pause
2.Implanted Multiplayer! (Please Remove Local Multiplayer!)
3.Added Versus Mode! (PVP Battle Againest Player Vs Boss Player To Win!)
Thank you Backdraft_3.5,
you can change your controls in the configuration menu. You can use mouse & keyboard, only keyboard and even gamepads/joysticks, and you can change all the keybindings. I will try to adapt the standard-settings for the next time.
I stepped back to "local" multiplayer, because I don't have an idea how to implement an online mode with perfect synchronous procedures, thats very important in that genre, and thats why only a handful of those games have it.
Multiplayer and their game modes are not yet implemented, but of course there will be a way to play together "or" against each other.
Best regards
- Martin
