Apollo is a retro, pixelated stealth game I developed in high school using MS Visual Basic. Inspired by classic sneaking games like Metal Gear Solid, it challenges players to navigate hostile environments, avoid detection, and ultimately stop the deadly weapon of mass destruction known as Apollo from being unleashed upon the world.

Players take on the role of John Nite, a skilled covert agent tasked with infiltrating a heavily guarded facility. Utilizing line-of-sight mechanics, players must stay out of enemy vision cones while traversing maze-like levels filled with obstacles and patrols. Getting caught triggers a minigame where John must hide from spotlights.

The climax of the mission is a boss fight against the Apollo  machine. Place mines while avoiding devastating attacks, luring the machine into explosive traps to secure victory.

With its minimalist pixel art and sneaking mechanics, Apollo was a passion project and my first completed game as a teenager.
