Review Time!
This time we continue our quest to find a great free indie game, and today I think I've found it.

I found Final Boss while looking around on PixelProspector.com an indie game library site with a huge archive of games.
The game itself came from the creative minds of Ebbo and eebrozgi at

Now I can tell you right up front that this game is As Hard As HECK.
The story of the game is as follows "This is the story of a fighter who wanted to become... The Final Boss
In order to achieve this dream for must stand against gigantic alien fleet known as

| The game begins with a tutorial explaining the controls. |
In order to achieve this dream for must stand against gigantic alien fleet known as
The Green Orange and face their leader.
It's a tale full of death and sorrow
But it is your destiny you may not escape it!"
I can only say that the absence of a story suits this game, so the starting cutscene that tells you about the story is welcome as the rest of the game doesn't care for story (being focused on gameplay).
Now onto the gameplay of this outstanding game.
The game itself involves classic shoot-em-up action with a constantly scrolling screen and hundreds of enemies (not all at once of course).
The game supports multiplayer but unfortunately I don't have another person to help me, so I can't show you it.
Anyway the game itself has a wonderful color pallet of green, orange, and light orange while this may seem off putting it fits the game very well. There is a local high score board that you can try and beat your friends scores on. Finally there is a score multiplier that will drain if you don't keep destroying enemies.
Now I'll show you some more pictures of the game as I've covered everything about this title. Also as a last note, the game is still in development and most likely won't be completed for some time.
Later on...

Hi!
ReplyDeleteThis is Ebbo.
Thank you for your kind words. Even though I hadn't noticed this post before it really lifted my spirit today.
It motivates us to keep working on Final Boss. Hopefully we'll be able to release new version soon enough.
I'm not sure if you'll notice this but thank you once more!
