Boss Rush
11.05.08



Say hello to three of overall six boss enemies appearing in DUX.

Stage 1 Boss

Krebs is the first stage boss to encounter. This boss has some sort of nippers opening and closing during the fight, so take care of that. Naturally, the boss will spit some bullets at you including a strong beam and some snake-like moving yellow shots. The beam is coming ot of the boss enemies hitzone and should be avoided as it will penetrate your shield. The yellow shot instead, which is also shown in the stage 1 teaser video, is to be absorbed with the pod. You can also point those yellow shots into a certain direction to make them easier for dodging.

Stage 2 Boss

Blumas is a huge mechanic flower. It will tossing dozens of bullet at you at a time to be doged. Those flower shaped bullets can be really dangerous, especially when they have enough time to explode to spit out even more bullets.

Stage 5 Boss

Radiax is an mutated creature living in a radio active contaminated den. Those little tentacle will shoot some shot some bullet at you, so eliminate them. When fighting against this boss enemy you will also take care of a long snake, which trying to get in touch with you.

In the final, alls these boss enemies will have more attacks then described here.

Know Your Enemy Part 3
26.05.08

Here's the last part of the enemy show.

enemies3
Vogel
Every bunch of Vogels is led by one leading Vogel. When eliminating the leader, each Vogel will re-arrange to change their formation. Now, it's easier to blast-off a complete line of enemies at the same time.

Walker
This walker is walking on the ground and shoots aimed bullets at you.

Galama
Galama swims through the cave and drops some exploding bullets from its back. It's recommend to put the pod on the backside when encountering this enemy.

Dreher
Dreher flies around and is pretty quick. When turning a complete circle ths enemy gets pretty dangerous.

Vogel appears in Stage 4, Walker in Stage 1, Galamar in Stage 2 and Dreher in Stage 3.

JKKDARK, is this game going to be released on a GD commercially?

[JKKDARK]

No, it's a commercial homebrew game. It will be available on CD, like Last Hope, Feet of Fury, etc.
