Starfighter's Ballad

This was written for the Neo Twiny Jam in 500 words or less.

This one reminds me of the classic twine scene around 2015 and earlier, especially the Porpentine/Furkle style. You have bodies that are modified in uncomfortable ways and integrated with technology mixed with a vulnerable protagonist whose interior monologue is at odds with the actions around him. Another similar feature is the blend of religiosity with patriotism in the authority figures in the protagonists life.

That's not to say that this game isn't original; it has a nice poeticism to it and does its own take on things. I'm just saying that I think it benefits from having a body of related work to compare and contrast it to.

This game is about being part of a space combat squadron protecting a payload of a large bomb. It's mostly linear, but has some nice color changes.

Shot off to space to fight aliens, this kinetic piece describes one last fight, the one to end all fight. Geared up to the teeth, you are ready to destroy the ship that killed your friends. I like the hue choice in the background.
