About the game
The Story So Far...
The Crim, a formidable faction of bandits and cultists, wreak havoc across the land, inching closer to your homeland with every passing day. Your father, a renowned scholar of magical artifacts, departed on a quest in search of an artifact rumored to possess unparalleled power capable of halting the Crim's relentless march.Weeks have elapsed since his departure, and rumors abound that the Crim have halted their advance momentarily, trailing your father into the depths of ancient woods in pursuit of the same artifact. Now, compelled by duty and urgency, you must embark on a perilous journey to locate your father and secure the artifact, the Lyre, before the Crim seize it.
Gameplay:
The Crimson Lyre is an RPG with loot, skills, and plenty of lore to discover. Play it your way with multiple solutions to problems:Are you a stealthy character that slips past obstacles?
Do you face challenges head on with a sword?
Or perhaps a more subtle approach thinking your way to victory?
It's up to you, and in any game you aren't limited to one approach. Try all of the methods, or focus on one. The game is about exploration and experimentation.

Short description
Defend Earth from hostile aliens and hungry chupacabras in this modern classic arcade game. Created by a couple of real life VLA Operators!
About the game

Created by real life VLA Operators*, Ops takes you inside the shadowy world of U.S. Special Operations and puts you at the controls of the world's largest energy weapon: the Karl Zjunior Very Lethal Array! Disguised as a giant radio telescope larger than New York City, this massive weapon was built for one purpose and one purpose only: to terminate hostile aliens with extreme prejudice! Lucky for you, the night sky above rural New Mexico is a target-rich environment...
Knowing cows to be more intelligent than humans, the aliens seek to abduct as many cows as possible. Due to the VLA's special relationship with the cattle rancher, allowing all of the rancher's cattle to be abducted would be disastrous for your employer, the National Radio Ablation Office (NRAO). Ablate the aliens before they can abduct all the cows! Also, look out -- the alien ships pack devastating laser cannons that can melt your antennas within a few seconds. Kill the attacking ship before your antenna melts, and your antenna will eventually cool back down.
As you get to higher levels, you may notice other threats, such as chupacabras. These foul creatures are particularly nasty! A chupa will happily eat an entire cow whole (although they usually like to carry the cow back to their lair before doing so). Once a chupa has sunk its sizeable fangs and talons into a cow, the cow is mortally wounded and cannot be saved.
We wanted to do a "Last Starfighter"-style contest whereby whoever earns the highest score automatically gets offered a job with NRAO, but sadly that idea was deemed to be "too rad" to actually implement (paraphrasing a little here)... We do, however, encourage everyone who crushes this game to apply for a job with NRAO. It's an amazing place to work, and this game is exactly the same as being a real life VLA Operator!**
*This game is not approved or endorsed by the National Science Foundation, National Radio Astronomy Observatory, or Associated Universities, Inc. Many movies, TV shows, and video games have been set at the VLA over its ~50-year history... We just happen to work there!
**The truth value of this claim has not been independently verified and is dubious at best.
