The “bullet holocaust” of a 2D scrolling shooter that’s been called Last Alarm has released a demo. It is well worth picking up. Ghost and m0dus from NeoGAF have put together an impressive looking — to say the least about the graphics — and fun to play game that is not without it’s fair share of in-jokes.
Also ranking among the several impressive details is that Last Alarm has been developed entirely with XNA Game Studio Express and Torque X.
One thing to note: although you can play with the keyboard, I highly highly recommend you use a gamepad instead.
The system requirements aren’t too bad.
Minimum system requirements:
1.0GHz processor
512 MB RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 2
Video card supporting DirectX 9.0c and Shader Model 2.0
Recommended system:
2.0 GHz processor
1 GB RAM
nVidia or ATI accelerated 3D video card
Download the demo to Last Alarm: The A.R.G.U.S. Complex.
Be sure to leave Josh any bugs and feedback on the Last Alarm blog!
Josh — When’s my Xbox 360 executable due?
Josh says:
April 10, 2007 at 2:26 amArne – It’s due when you release GSE 1.1 with the functionality to make a 360 executable, so you’ll have to go tell Frank Savage & co to hurry up (rather you than me).
