My first BM project is still evolving and now the beta 0.9x is available for download.

Star Opus is space action adventure type game. The aim of the game is to complete all the jump points and beat the enemy you'll encounter in the last planet called 'Kaou Pih'. There will be 54 jump points to navigate - with full of cool enemies, black holes and alien hex-cities.

All the graphics are made by using Inkscape. This app really rocks.

There are lots'a of improvements including fx, music, intro and the whole new particle engine running. Some new aliens included also; Parasite, Rotator evolved and more.

Included also 2 of my songs I wrote a couple years ago . The first song is called 'Liquid Mind' and the 2nd is ambient type track (Valentina, includin' some authentic speech from Valentina Vladimirovna Tereškova - the first woman in space).

Star Opus is running 60fps(hi details) or 30fps(lo details). The framerate is fixed. All the alien types has an ability to increase/decreace its particles and visual effects if there are some lack of the framerate.
