Cefalus

Cefalus is a two-part shooter set on the planet Saturn, where a colony is under threat from a malevolent entity and its forces. The player assumes the role of a space soldier tasked with eliminating the threat.

The first section of the game takes place in a city environment, presented from a diagonal-down perspective. The player character can move in four cardinal directions. Each screen is self-contained, and exiting one loads the next. Enemies continuously spawn and must be eliminated using the character’s blaster before making contact; otherwise, the player loses one of a limited number of lives. The primary objective in this phase is to locate energy cells, which function as ammunition for the second part of the game.

Once at least one energy cell has been collected, the player can transition to the second section at any time. This phase shifts to a top-down view, where the player pilots a spaceship in direct combat against the central antagonist. The gameplay involves dodging incoming projectiles and returning fire using the collected energy cells. When ammunition is depleted, the game reverts to the first section, allowing the player to gather additional resources.
