Commando: Hell's Target released on itch.io in October of 2023

Commando: Hell’s Target by feline78

Commando: Hell’s Target is a simple arcade shooter where you play to kill all the demons that have invaded the jungle. Commando: Hell’s Target is inspired by 80s arcade games as well as Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga, Atari ST and old PC-DOS titles. It’s a simple, addictive, action-packed game.

STORY:

On that fateful day in 1982 while you were sent on a recon mission in the African jungle, the demonic invasion began suddenly like a shock to your psyche. The demons are fierce, hateful and hungry. As your pulse starts racing in that fever dream state of mind you pull out your assault rifle and face your destiny.

Hi there @leb78,

Hope you’re well and having a wonderful week so far :slight_smile:

Watching this felt so nostalgic and just awesome. I’ve never really been one for games like these but even I can admit this looked cool :smiley: If you don’t mind me asking, how long have you been working on this?

Thanks for the comment!

I started making sprites for this game in late summer 2023 and I had the project on itch.io in the fall of 2023. I put this small game together very quickly. I then focused on other things but I am releasing small updates here and there.

I will make a follow up game with better mechanics as I’m learning new things with some of my udemy/gamedev.tv/zenva etc… courses that I have bought on sale.

Very similar to Commando: Hell’s Target but with better more expansive game mechanics. It will still be a small shooting gallery type game.
