Zordack Alpha demo

Low budget indie games tend to be some of the most creative around, assuming they aren't just flipping assets poorly in Unity. Without the budget to create an epic, the creators instead need to focus on one unique feature to make their games stick out. From these restrictions come some truly inventive concepts. One of them is Zordack, which is a short experimental game about the moon disappearing.

To play Zordack, simply run the executable.

This game takes place far in the future, as you play as a lady who wakes up from cryosleep after 200 years, and finds that she's alone in an abandoned research facility that's infested with hostile aliens. Starting from just her underwear, she has to scavenge around for a power suit with an arm cannon that also comes packing with missiles and can open doors by shooting at them.

If being a blonde babe in a suit like that sounds familiar to you, that's because it very much is. This game is beyond inspired by Super Metroid and plays almost exactly like it with a protagonist that's also exactly like Samus. There are some novel gameplay mechanics, such as one where she can attack certain weak points in the environment to take care of large obstacles, which truly incentivizes examining the environment over Metroid's educated guesses about which walls hide secret areas.

Still, this is an incredibly solid game and being a clone of one of the games that created a genre still makes it a great game. You should still give Zordack a download.
