Nuclear Rush
I made a game at school with some fellow students in 8 weeks time. Play it here!
It’s the year 2010, satellite pictures of the government show that terrorists are building a military base, where they develop a nuclear weapon. When the UN had seen the satellite pictures they decided to send investigators to the base. A Few weeks passed and they never heard anything from the investigators and the journalists who joined them…
So they decided to attack the base with military forces. It’s up to you to defend the base and take control of the world with your nuclear weapons. Defend the base with your life!

Pixel Games
Pixelart is the first digital art. Mostly used in Atari and Commodore 64. The reason was that they couldn’t use more pixels because there was not enough space on the disk. Today it is possible to go extremely detailed like GTA4. But back in the days it was different.
