Meet Altas

He promises to never shrug.

Meet Atlas. He has a gigawatt lasercannon. Unfortunately, this means he has less room for armor. His secondary weapon is a pair of helper-satellites that pop out and auto-fire at the closest enemies.

To the top-left, you can see a blue craft - one of the newer baddies. He moves real slow on account of his armor, and he loves spewing homing missiles at the player, so you have to take them out real quick before you get smithereened.

There is a third player ship named Thor. He's green, and is a heavyweight, but I have no picture of him because he is not yet functional. His weapon is going to be a spread-shot, and I plan on his secondary being a sort of pulse-blast that does AoE damage to anything nearby.

The original player ship (the red one) is named Osiris, for the curious. His weapons are standard pulse-lasers, with missiles as secondaries.

Next, I plan to actually add the super-attacks.

Also, here is a mockup of the almost-finished ship selection screen:

I am thinking about ditching the funky font for menu options (leaving it for the title) and replacing it with the nice bitfont that you can see here. Opinions? People who comment/answer get a cookie!

"Eh, nothing much. Just the world" he said carefully, not shrugging.
