All other upgrades are entirely optional and may only be acquired through exploration.ĭiscovering a medallion allows the player to unlock a door leading to a hidden character who will offer to sell you one of two powerups. While there are numerous items and upgrades to be had, this is the only powerup that is given to the player outright. Very early in the going, you will encounter an antigravity device, giving Selena a variable 3x jetpack-assisted jump and allowing her to cross larger gaps and reach greater heights. This helps you to take out some of the sky bound enemies and makes up for any blind spots with your standing firing options.

While you can’t run and gun, you can shoot while in midair, and you can fire upward or downward at a 30 degree angle while jumping. As with the ship, tapping the button allows the player to get a bit of extra speed out of his firing rate, but the difference here is less noticeable than the standard continuous fire option. Pulling the trigger while running will bring you to a stop where you can fire to the right or left, and upwards in either direction at a 30 degree angle. Selena has a non-variable 1.5x jump, and she can fire her weapon while standing, crouching, or jumping, but not while running, and this gives the game a somewhat deliberate pace. Occasionally, a few asteroids are worked into the mix, and these absorb a lot of hits before being destroyed.

There are only a couple of enemy types: green ships move in various formations and chuck the occasional bullet, while red ships move onscreen, stop to fire a large projectile, and then drop down and move straight across the playfield. You move the ship around the screen, blasting waves of enemies, as is typical of the genre. The game begins as a horizontal shmup, with Selena’s ship travelling toward the planet of The Space Prince, accompanied by her robotic companion, Balzac, who hovers near her ship. Those that did provide a story generally only offered motivation for the hero of the tale to fight his or her (but usually his) way through countless enemies.Įverything here, from the story, to the visuals, to the scantily-clad heroine is inspired by these action-based titles, offering colorful worlds, enemies in need of termination, and a strong but unnecessarily well-endowed heroine wrapped in revealing skin-tight spandex. In games of this era, story almost always took a backseat to the action. Has the advantage of not being officially endorsed, too.As far as plots go, it’s about as throwaway as they come, although this was to some degree intentional, as the developer modeled the game after computer-based action titles of the late 80’s and early 90’s.
ULTIONUS SERENA MOD
Might as well make a mod yourself and distribute, instead. Only real result is more work for the dev and possibly landing him in legal trouble or something.probably not worth it. I would love to see Larry kind of survey in begining of game, to profile age of gamer and enable adult mode with fully naked sprites if answers indicate a fully grown person XD Would be almost entirely pointless since it'd be glaringly obvious to anyone who even is old enough to have a libido in the first place.

I love how you drew her to be more realistic, definitely fits. Oh yeah, also the music and "box art" are absolutely AWESOME. You did a great job DarkFalzX, and I will gladly support your future projects, esp. So many awesome ideas, Ultionus must live on! :) Love that "look but don't tell" sort of humor, it's just there. The humor, awesome humor, especially the final boss and his "sensor" lol.
ULTIONUS SERENA SKIN
Would love to see customization unlocks and things, the little extra things, skin changes, etc., to find or unlock, and new abilities to purchase, etc, ala megaman or metroid or games with upgrade systems that are more robust, would love to see more options for Serena S, though the ones in game, when I first found out she could be upgraded, totally blew me away!Īlso the quality of the art direction is perfect! The final level with the good ending especially blew me away, so epic! Like I was playing SNES in the old days when the internet just came out and there were no hint sites. When I first went through it without looking on google, it was so fun to find all the secrets.

I love it, even the quickness of it, though I wish it was longer, it's still awesome. Postat inițial de Shockaboom:Still playing it on and on.
