January 7,2014: Photon Phighter 1
After a 6 month delay to reprogram Photon Phighter based on the testers reactions to the game I can say that it is completed. Get ready to play an arcade style, top down, any direction, zero gravity video game that is fun.
Upgrade your ship, capture aliens, save other pilots, save earth, get attached by alien space ships, and swallow an alien home world using a black hole!
In the six month delay we added the player’s ship upgrade system, a communication system, a talking AI for your ship to manage the communications and warnings for you.
