SD Gundam - Zaku Assault [published]
Synopsis
Are you a bad enough dude to pilot the fabled Zaku II S into a storm of Federation Mobile Suits and become the Red Comet? SD Gundam – Zaku Survival will pop you into Char Aznable’s mask and allow you to show those Feddies why they call you “the Red Comet!”
Based on events from taken from the 0079 Mobile Suit Gundam lore, SD Gundam – Zaku Survival will have a lone sackboy pilot a Zaku II S and destroy Federation machines in sections of escalating difficulty. As players complete a section filled with certain enemy types, their rank will increase, ultimately awarding the player the title of “The Red Comet” if they complete the level. But remember, you only have one Zaku so use your speed and cunning to send yourself into Universal Century LBP history!
Features - Zaku II S
Replenishable health system
The Zaku II S can withstand 45 hits before destruction. Health status can be reviewed through either the strength of the Zaku eye’s brightness and through audible notifications. This health can be replenished the player finds a health pod. The health will be restored to nearly full status as indicated by the Zaku eye returning to full brightness.
Newtype flash
A flash will appear above the Zaku in the event a powerful weapon is shot in the player’s direction, warning the player to evade as needed.

All I really need to do now is build the cruisers and the White Base. Other than that, I should be done very, very soon! Also, once PSN comes up again, I'll drop an open demo for you guys to try out.
I think I've finally come up with the kind of mecha action I've been aiming for and I hope you guys feel the same. Big ups to Gilgamesh for helping me with the circle function. :hero:
