Strike Force

Strike Force is an indie project I'm working on with Game Maker. Feel free to make any suggestions, as this is still a Work in Progress.

Gameplay
Strike Force is a scrolling shoot 'em up much in the style of arcade games like 1945. Pretty old school, in regards to the direction I want to take it.

Plot
The Empire has begun launching massive surprise attacks on their neighbors, using their superior air force to smash their enemies' ground forces. The League of Nations, in response to this threat, has put together a task force of pilots from various nations across the world called the ''Strike Force. ''You are Trent Blade, a brash and cocky young pilot. You must take to the skies and stop the Empire's plans of world domination!

Characters

 * Trent Blade: The main character. Young, brash and flashy, he seeks to become the best pilot in the world. To do this, he seeks out worthy opponents in order to prove himself. He flies Miss Lucy.
 * Wilhelm van Damme: The star pilot of the Imperial Air Force and Trent's nemesis. He is arrogant, cocky, and brash. Almost as brash as Trent. He is encountered several times throughout the game. He flies Sky Lion.
 * General James Fox: The commander of the Strike Force. Although he sees Trent's potential, he sees him as immature and reckless and hopes that he grows as the war progresses.
 * The Emperor: The primary antagonist and mastermind behind the events of the game. He seeks to conquer the entire world, crushing anyone and anything that stands in his way. He flies Death Force.
