Saber Disk by Neonlare
Grab your longboard and put on your stereoscopic glasses, cuz we're heading into the distant future of 1999!
An evil sentient AI known as the TimeLord has taken various creatures from the past and cybernized them into terrifying mechnical weapons.
Threatening the known world itself, a Net-Hacker by the name of Booter and his array of impressive reformatting floppy-disks are the only thing that stands in the way between us and total extinction at the hands of a tyrannical OS. Radical!
Grab points and upgrades as you combine floppy-disks to upgrade yourself as you fight through the hoardes of velociraptors riding pegai, angry arcade cabinets and intelligent Rodin sculptures before facing off with the TimeLord himself. Be careful, or you Game could be Over before you know it!

- The Rodin thinker statues take up a huge amount or real estate on the screen, and either they hit me even though I was at the back of the level and they were up front (which would imply you're using straight up 2D collision detection, or something else is hitting me and I just can't see it.
- I kept getting a very slow weapon that has a short range and can only be first one shot at a time. With the number of enemies entering the screen, this weapon is pretty useless.
Despite these two things I had a blast.
P.S. my high score was 5880.
I think I would like this game a lot better if the individual objects were all a bit smaller. Pretty awesome game the artwork and music are just so freaking good.
Rad game. Took me a couple tries, but it was worth it - final boss is neat. Great graphics, great music, awesome atmosphere. Great job!
Still no idea what each of those disks actually do, though. It feels random. Kinda.
Hi Score: 36450.
It's pretty hard, but really well done!
very impressive entry. and very catchy music
Very good job!
The soundtrack is amazing!
I feel like shooting is a bit slow and it takes a lot of hits to destroy the statue. Also when there are multiple statues on the screen it completely the player in the background making it harder to dodge other enemies.
I love the death animation. Also, great cohesive mood with the retro 1999 era.
I'll echo what others have said: the thinker statue takes up a lot of room, and playing in the background is incredibly difficult. I also feel like just having a larger playing field to work in would give the player some breathing space, especially for the fast moving enemies.
Highscore: 7638
Great work!
