OLPERO
A downloadable bootleg game for Windows
You were looking for the amazing OPLERO, BUT IT WAS I, OLPERO!
Take control of a bootleg spaceship, one that can't shoot - like, at all! But it can absorb all enemy projectiles, with the help of POWER UPS obtained by closing obnoxious (fake) ads!
Made for the Dev Zone Bootleg Game Jam in around two weeks (with the explicit permission of the creators of the original game), OLPERO is a bootleg of OPLERO. While the latter is a "don't get hit" space shooter, OLPERO is an "intercept all projectiles before they leave the screen" reverse space shooter!
With the power of Godot 4.3 and the boosts triggered by closing ads (gently provided by the Dev Zone community), be ready to face three totally absolutely definitely not ripped off bosses with your spaceship!
Close ads, gain score, fill the bar.
And don't forget to like and subscribe.
(STRONGLY suggested to play on a controller - this game is not monetized, the ads are just a silly gameplay mechanic and won't have any effect on the developer's own wallet)
A full list of credits is provided in-game.

harder than the original, uncanny
would love a level like this in the real oplero through some excuse like dream sequence or getting hacked sequence, though. i love the concept of playing a bootleg version of the game within the game
Thank you! I honestly had a blast developing it and I played the original OPLERO several times in preparation, in order to try to extract its essence and turn it around. I'm glad it was worth checking out, as weird this bootleg was!
