Code Rouge
🌅 CYBER SHORE: CODE RED
An Intense 16-Bit Endless Arcade Survival Game for Trijam #372
🕹️ THE CONCEPT
Welcome to Neo-Acapulco 2099. The sun is setting eternally over a cyberpunk coastline, casting neon pink and deep violet reflections onto the waves. But the beach is under siege. As a rogue Mecha Pilot, your survival depends on a single rule: adapt to the coastal defense signal, or perish.
Cyber Shore: Code Red is a frantic, minimalist arcade experience where your weapons are entirely automated. Your only job? Survive, position yourself flawlessly, and chase the high score.
🌊 GAMEPLAY & CONTROLS
Your actions switch automatically based on the global phase of the world:
- [ARROW KEYS] : Move your Wave-Rider Mecha.
- 🟢 GREEN PHASE (Auto-Shoot): Your mecha automatically fires plasma discs. Only GREEN enemies can be destroyed.
- 🔴 RED PHASE (Auto-Dash): Your weapons lock up, but you automatically dash at nearby threats. You are invulnerable ONLY while dashing THROUGH Red enemies to pulverize them.
⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: Any other collision is instantly fatal. Dashing into a green enemy or touching a red enemy while walking will destroy your mecha.
🧱 FEATURES
- Pure Arcade Loop: An endless, fast-paced game where the speed and phase shifts accelerate as your score climbs.
- Synthwave x Mecha Aesthetic: Beautiful 16-bit pixel art heavily inspired by 90s bio-mecha anime and coastal retro-wave aesthetics.
- Solo Jam Challenge: Developed using generative AI tools for code and visuals to meet the intense Trijam time limit!
- Original Soundtrack: Features an exclusive electronic music track composed specifically for this coastal cyber-battle.
Created in solo for Trijam #372. Theme: Red Light, Green Light.
