Operius

Operius is a fast-paced, retro-style arcade shooter developed by indie creator Mors. Originally crafted in just 10 days for the Opera GX Game Jam, it emerged as the winning entry and became the official offline game for the Opera GX browser.

Game Summary

Operius is a high-speed arcade shooter where you control an arrow-shaped ship that passes inside a mysterious UFO. Your mission is to cover the maximum distance while shooting alien enemies and dodging obstacles. The game's levels, i.e. sectors, are generated randomly, making each run unique. As you progress, the game's difficulty increases, and you have to use your reflexes and strategy.

How to Play

The controls of Operius are simple and intuitive. You move your ship using the left and right arrow keys or the A and D keys, while firing is automatic. The game has hexagonal gateways passing through which upgrades your firepower. But if you miss these gateways, your weapon gets downgraded. There are a total of 4 upgrade levels in the game, and after reaching the maximum level, the next sector is unlocked.

Soundtrack & Visuals

The soundtrack of Operius is composed by Catonator, which perfectly complements the retro aesthetic of the game. The visual design of the game is dynamic, with background colors and themes changing with sectors, which makes the gameplay visually engaging.

Operius is an addictive and challenging game that will force you to play it again and again. Its simple control scheme and progressively increasing difficulty ensure that every player has a satisfying experience. So if you're looking for an engaging arcade shooter, give Operius a try.
