A downloadable game

Sky Pirates of Etalmar is an upcoming arcade aerial dogfighting game with a single-player campaign, splitscreen multiplayer, and (hopefully eventually) online multiplayer!  In this demo you can play the first two missions from the campaign and 2-4 player splitscreen in one of the local versus multiplayer modes.

The splitscreen multiplayer features bot support to fill in for missing players!  Try starting a game for more players than you have controllers plugged in and they will automatically join.

Controls:

  • Analogue stick/D-pad to move
  • Right trigger/A to shoot.  The gun can overheat, so watch your yellow heat bar!
  • Left trigger/B for acrobatics.  Fly faster, turn tighter, and do loop-the-loops when holding back on the stick, but you have limited stamina, so watch your green stamina bar!

This demo was released as a submission to the DreamDisc '24 Game Jam.

This game works on real Dreamcast hardware, and I can also confirm it works in the Flycast emulator.

Install instructions

This game is intended to be played on the Sega Dreamcast.  

The .cdi file can be burned onto a CD, played with an optical drive emulator, or played with a serial port SD adapter.  I have only tested the first method, so please let me know if you have any issues!

It can also be played in an emulator. I have confirmed it works in Flycast but have not tested other emulators.
