📕 Description [en]

Kops is a two-dimensional gravitational shoot'yer'friend game in 640x480x256 graphics mode. The original version was made back in 1996. This is port from the DOS version to Windows and released as "freeware", i.e. there is no need to register the game since this new free release is fully functional with all the features previously available only in registered shareware version.

How to play

You control your ship with five keys; thrust (move forward), turn left, turn right, fire main gun and fire special gun. Both main and special guns can be upgraded by picking up power-ups that appear around the level from time to time.

When you pick up a main gun power-up, your gun is replaced instantiously. Your main gun also has unlimited ammo. If you pick up worse gun than you already had, tough luck.

Your ship also has special weapon with 2 to 16 slots; only one slot can be active at a time. To activate another slot, you must either visit a base and pick the slot, or pick up a "next slot"-power-up. The special weapons have limited ammo.

When you visit a base, your ship is also automatically repaired; this takes time, and you are literally a sitting duck when you are being repaired. You also must return to a base when the last enemy goes down. The bases may also be destroyed along with all the other terrain, but they regenerate in time.

*Customization

Manual installed with the game contains instructions how to create your own levels and how to change the game music.

📕 Description [fr]

Un shooter spatial exclusivement multijoueur en écran partagé, par Jetro Lauha (jet.ro, aka studio Secret Exit, musique de Erkki Turunen).

Kops est un shooter entre amis gravitationnel bidimensionnelle en mode graphique 640x480x256.
La version originale a été développée en 1996. Ce portage de la version DOS à Windows / Linux a été libéré en tant que "freeware" (le source est sous licence GPL-2), autrement dit, il n'est pas nécessaire d'enregistrer le jeu depuis cette nouvelle version, et elle est entièrement fonctionnelle avec toutes les fonctionnalités précédemment disponibles de la version shareware enregistrée.

🚀️ LANCEMENT DU JEU :

Dans son répertoire lancez : $ ./kops

🔍️ Test [fr]

🕵️ Test (1.1) de goupildb en solo :
Un très joli shooter spatial exclusivement multijoueur (jusqu'à 4 en écran partagé), disposant d'une belle bande son (FMOD est livré et fonctionnel : très bien !), de contrôles agréables et de nombreuses cartes.
Le jeu n'a d'intérêt qu'en mode multijoueur pour lequel il a été conçu, car il n'y a pas d'IA.
Les cartes sont un peu petites et encombrées d'obstacles, mais à plusieurs il doit être plutôt sympa.
Une très belle implémentation. Merci à son auteur.


💡️ Commentaires généraux:
Le source (GPL-2+) a été enregistré sur Sourceforge en 2003 et est libellé "initial", néanmoins d'après le fichier "TODO.txt" livré, il semble bien qu'il s'agisse aussi de la même version 1.1, ce qui est une bonne chose. D'après la page "News", cette version 1.1 du 23/09/2001 correspond au portage Linux.
