Pel:Shifter
I'm an indie game dev from Germany, currently building PEL64 – a lightweight, low-res game engine made for speed and simplicity. It’s built for devs who like the basics and raw coding freedom. If you’re into crafting tight, low-level gameplay experiences with a unique visual edge, you’re in the right place! I'll release PEL64 to the public once it has been fully tested with my first game, ZORN.
ZORN - the first game built with PEL64
Set in 4087, humanity’s fate is hanging by a thread as a rogue AI, known as ZORN, builds a mechanical empire on the ruins of civilization. You play as Adam Helios, a retired pilot who uploads his consciousness into the ultimate warship – the Sun Chariot – in a last-ditch effort to stop ZORN. Expect high-speed combat, fluid controls, and non-stop action.
- Genre: Arcade Space Shooter
- Platforms: Windows, MacOS, Linux
- Gameplay: Fast-paced, precise controls, high-score chasing
- Visuals: Sleek 1-bit pixel art for a minimal yet striking look
- Sound: A full-on electro soundtrack, made with analog synths
