Zenith Aegis

Attention! Our space stations are under siege, and only you can stop the onslaught! Take control of Kael, a skilled swordsman, as you evade and deflect relentless enemy attacks to protect Earth. Rack up high scores and unlock a variety of exciting rewards in this endless action-packed game for the original Game Boy.

Compatibility:

• Some unlockable content in this game is compatible with the GameBoy Printer.
• A special border is available when playing on the Super GameBoy.
• Certain aspects, such as higher speeds and the amount of text displayed at once, are reduced on systems released before the Game Boy Color. The web version is the color version, so it doesn’t suffer from any hardware limitations of the DMG version.

Ahoy! This marks my first time finishing a game and making it available to the public. My goal with this project was to finally release one of my many game prototypes. Over the years, I've created countless game prototypes, but never finished or release them to the public.

For Zenith Aegis, my main focus was on the presentation. I hope it reflects that effort and is noticeable to players.

Another driving force behind this project was my long-time desire to create official art for a game. While I’ve worked with creators on other projects in the past, they were ultimately canceled. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and create something I could fully bring to life.

I truly hope you enjoy playing Zenith Aegis as much as I enjoyed making it!

There are plans for more games and even a Zenith Aegis DX version, featuring full color and additional game modes. However, since game development is not my full-time job, these projects will take some time to complete.

If you’d like to support Zenith Aegis and future projects, or my art, please consider purchasing the game, joining my Patreon, or donating on Ko-fi. Your support is greatly appreciated and helps make all of this possible!

If you have any feedback, or if you encounter any bugs or glitches, please feel free to let me know! I’ll do my best to address any issues in this or future projects.
