Invasion of the Red Balloons is a 2D action shooter for the PC that propel players into a raging fire fight against man and monster. Man must use their most advanced weaponry to repel the constant onslaught of these evil invaders.
The invaders are dropping toxic red balloons onto the hills of Stafford in an attempt to kill all life and our only chance of stopping them is to stop the balloons whilst they are still air born. You must control the Rocket and destroy each balloon and the toxic gas.
Once the balloon attack has been stopped, the invaders commence a full scale invasion and you are forced to take to the skies to stop this invasion. You take to the skies in a fully loaded Helicopter and must shoot down the invaders aircraft as well as dodging incoming fire.
You may fly away from the alien spaceships but they will chase you and catch you up, be careful not to crash into them.

This game was developed as an assignment at Level 2. The gameplay was solely developed by myself and the screen manager was taken from a Microsoft XNA Creators Starter Kit.

Controls: All controls are listed in game on each menu screen.

I'm originally from Burnley, Lancashire and I've been living in Stafford and Derby whilst on my Degree course. I found my passion for programming during my time at College and I've never looked back.
I'm an avid follower of both the games and mobile phone industries. I enjoy writing code in either area and I'm aiming myself for a future career in either, or perhaps both.
