Daemon is a homebrew top down scrolling shooter (or SHMUP) for the NDS.

User guide

In Daemon, you assume the role of highly advanced space superiority fighter. The catch is that you are not a human pilot fighting to save the Earth, but rather a complex computer algorithm capable of changing itself and the ship it flies to suit the needs of the battlefield.

The ship, initially quite weak, can slot three types of upgrades:

• Chassis - Power plant upgrades.
• Navigation - Computation upgrades.
• Weapon - Munitions upgrades.

You have a surprising amount of diversity to choose from (only 6 in this incomplete version, over 30 in the complete version) many with prerequisites.

You may, for example, require an additional power plant before you can slot your Twin Shot Array. This pick and choose style of upgrading gives a large amount of flexibility and customization, and is part of the evolution tie in.

The ship can do more than slot upgrades, however, it can refactor itself to increase its overall power.

When the ship undergoes this refactoring process, it examines which upgrades the player seems to prefer, (by examing what the player has slotted) and creates a newer more powerful (and more upgradeable) hull for the player to fly in.
