What is Bio Blade?
Bio Blade: A Star Odyssey is a video game I developed for the Sega Genesis. It's written in C and uses the SGDK library. It's a cool project I created to further my knowledge in coding and low-level programming languages. Essentially, it's a tech-demo portraying my knowledge with SGDK as a new programmer.
Help Saya Save Humanity!
In the far future, humanity has had major advancements in space technology allowing them to create an interplanetary empire! A major milestone of the empire was creating a Dyson sphere around the Sun. However, by harnessing the power of such a large celestial object, it caught the attention of a race of galactic conquerors known as the Nebula Legion.
The Nebula Legion opened a rift in the solar system, which became the gateway for a full-scale invasion against humanity. The Nebula Legion quickly overwhelmed all of the fleets and defenses that humanity offered.
In response, Earth gathered its finest scientists to create a superweapon that could defeat the Nebula Legion's onslaught. Their efforts led to the creation of the Bio Blade program; super soldiers armed with power armor and plasma swords that bonded with their wielders. These soldiers were immensely powerful and could perform asymmetric warfare against the Nebula Legion.
Saya, the greatest of the program, was chosen to shut down the rift. Can she do it?
How to Play
Bio Blade: A Star Odyssey uses controls based off of the Sega Genesis 3-button controller, so controls will be in reference as they would appear on the controller (d-pad, a, b, & c)
The game is a side scroller shooter and you must survive the onslaught of alien invaders and rack up score. You can pick up items that restore health, lives, or change your weapon to one of four different upgrades (Spread, Heavy, Wave, and Repeater) As you play through each of the six stages, they increase in difficulty and require more skill to overcome the challenges you face as the player. In order to fully complete the game and gain access to the sixth stage however, you must play the game on "Hard" mode.
