MIRROR SHIP

👁‍🗨 When played with Javatari, the game produces annoying shaking. This doesn't happen when played with Stella (watch the video on YouTube ➡).

-------------------------------

📜  In deep space, energy is never gathered alone. At the helm of your ship, your sole objective is to salvage the energy orbs scattered across the void to power onboard systems. There is only one problem: you are not alone. Across an imperceptible cosmic distance, a second vessel moves in lockstep with you, mirroring your every single maneuver. Every turn that brings you closer to a resource might push the other ship toward a fatal impact. To survive and harvest the energy, you must cultivate a dual perspective: chart your own course, calculate the trajectory of your reflection, and dodge the blazing stars that threaten to vaporize both of you at the slightest miscalculation. Coordination, reflexes, and absolute control: the void forgives no slip-ups.

💾 The download includes the game ROM, PDF manual, and BEZEL for the Stella emulator. The demo  is available for download or to play in browser.

💻Press SELECT to start the game.   You can control one ship. The other moves automatically in a mirrored way. You can choose which ship to control by pressing the fire button. The energy bar and score will change to the same color as the ship you're controlling. You have to capture the energy spheres with the ship of the same color. Capturing a sphere of a different color or colliding with a star causes you to lose energy. The game ends when you run out of energy or if the two ships collide. 10 POINTS for each energy sphere captured, 50 POINTS for every ten energy spheres captured.

🏆 I make games exclusively for the Atari 2600 and would like to get into the Guinness Book of Records as the single person/company to have made the most games for a single console. More than Atari itself. That's why I've set myself the goal of making at least 180. I'd like to do that by the end of the year.

🎮 The games I released last year (over 40) will be free to download forever, but to fund this endeavor, the ones released in 2026 will be available for the ridiculous price of $2 (not exactly everyone 😉). If you'd like to help, I'd be grateful.

👍🏻 You'll also find new releases on   Mastodon, Bluesky,  X ,   Facebook  and YouYube where you'd be welcome to leave a like.

🔨 I can make custom games for free for anyone who requests them (as long as they're within my capabilities). Email me at the address below.
