The Beastly Siege of Irata 7

Developed for Atari's I, Rebel Game Jam in 2025

The Briefing:

The War was over. Or so you thought. After returning home to tend to your Perfect Beast and other things, you got the warning you dreaded.

They're back. Those Emerald Saucers. But this time, they're after your Beast. Your Perfect Beast.

So it comes down to you once again - to protect your Beast by taking on the Saucers. Collect the gem debris they leave and feed it to your Beast to keep it alive! Feed it enough and it's rage out joining the battle for a brief period of support!

Earn an extra shield for your ship every 15000 points.

See how high a score you can get - my best is 50000 points!

How to Play:

Fly your fighter using the Arrow Keys (Keyboard), or the Left Thumbstick on a gamepad. Press Space (Keyboard), the A Button (Xbox Controller) or Cross Button (PlayStation Controller) to shoot.

Collect the Gems from destroyed enemies and fly over the Beast to feed it.

Press Escape on the Title Screen to Quit.
