Heroes of Roswell - Classic

Heroes of Roswell - Classic

After the government mistakenly shoots down a UFO in the desert or Roswell the aliens want revenge! Blast your way through 4 levels of bullets and alien ships, destroy 4 over sized bosses, and try to collect all of the speed and bullet power upgrades! 

Originally written in 2003 for windows and linux using the SDL graphics library, Heroes of Roswell gained a small cult following and was ported to both the xbox and commodore by the open source community.

Now in 2026 I was able to find the old source and faithfully recreate the game in the GODOT engine for memories to be relived! 

Changes from the original include bug fixes, small UI fixes to fit better with the web, and a better "hold to fire" button. The game is otherwise untouched, including the random power up drops that may or may not ever give you what you need to survive.

If you enjoyed this or would like to motivate future games, you can buy me a coffee via the donations. 

As time permits look forward to more of my classic games making a return, as well as a mobile friendly remaster of Heroes of Roswell. Thanks for reading!
