Dalek Attack

Screenshots1 / 3

A pixel-art side-scrolling scene depicts a character standing on a platform in front of an underground subway station entrance marked by a red circular logo. Big Ben and London buildings silhouette against a bright magenta sky in the background. The foreground shows brick architecture with windows and doors; a large glowing moon hangs overhead. The HUD displays health at four, an ammo counter showing 00240, a score of 000000, and a Doctor Who logo with the number 9 in the lower right. Two lamp posts and various environmental details populate the scene rendered in 16-bit style graphics.
