Astralith: The Last Worldseed — Commodore 64
Astralith: The Last Worldseed is a horizontally scrolling shooter for the Commodore 64, written in 6502 assembly. The Worldseed is the last seed of a living world; fly it aboard the seedship Astralith through the dead space the Harvester left behind, six chapters of three stages each — the Worldseed Corridor, the Glass Nebula, the Verdant Expanse, the Ashen Ring, the Null Ocean and the Last Garden — the last five streamed from disk, each with its own hand-drawn terrain, enemies and music. Smooth one-pixel scrolling, a sprite multiplexer, and a guardian to learn at the end of every chapter: the Gatebreaker, the Prism Maw, the Thorn Ark, the Cinder Crown, the Hollow Leviathan and the Harvester. Five weapons to choose between on each chapter's card — Seed Cannon, Twin Bloom, Prism Lance, Spore Mine and Nova Bloom — bloom pods that power them up, and a ship system won from every guardian. Chapter passwords and three continues. Metal raster logo and an original SID soundtrack. Runs on PAL and NTSC machines; supplied as a D64 disk image.
