Windjammers

Windjammers for Sega Megadrive is the unofficial port of the original NeoGeo arcade's hit to my favorite 16 bits console!

Project's scope:

- Arcade version levels 2 exclusive ones

- All original players and their individual skills

- Multiple shot types: Standards, lobs, super shots, circle shots, toss

- Disc speed driven by reaction time

- 1 & 2 player game types

- And maybe more to come !

The current version available for download is a buggy pre-alpha version from late 2022 which doesn't reflect the current game evolution. Please be aware before purchasing/downloading/judging it ;)

Windjammers is an elaborated flying disc game with elements of volleyball, handball and the video game Pong. Two characters play against each other in a small closed arena delimited by a goal at each side. A net divides the field in two. Players must throw the disc into the opponent's goal and score points to win a set. There are several ways of throwing a disc, determined by the direction the player is pulling down the lever. The disc can ricochet against the lateral walls of the arena; players can use them to confuse the opponent. Another way to score a point is the opponent failing to catch the disc, making it fall on the ground. Each character has a special move that makes it more difficult for the opponent to catch the disc.
