PersiaTron is one of four games designed for a game jam held by the Glorious Trainwrecks community, in celebration of Andy Stone's release of Game-Maker's source code. All four games were assembled over a short span on the evening of July 19th, 2014, while the authors chatted and exchanged design tips over IRC.
For a change, went with a custom Sega Master System palette.
Took way longer than I expected; decided to cut the design short, due to lack of time to flesh out the rest of the dungeon.

For the Glorious Trainwrecks Game-Maker Source Release Jam / KotM #85
July 19th, 2014
Background
Top-down action game, sort of inspired by a mix of Robotron, Gauntlet, and Defenders of Oasis. Shoot all the ghouls to move on through the silver doors. Clear all the ghouls in the area to move through the gold door.
This was my first KotM game. Developed from scratch in four hours, using a Sega Master System palette that I threw together earlier. Design moved much more slowly than I intended! After four hours I capped it off and called it done. Maybe I'll pick this up again someday.
Availability
Produced for and available from Jeremy Penner's "tribute to postcardware" community, Glorious Trainwrecks.
Archive History
Produced on July 19, 2014 for Glorious Trainwrecks' Game-Maker Source Release Jam, in celebration of Andy Stone's July 11, 2014 release of the Game-Maker source code.
The game was entered into the archive upon completion.
