[JW]

Finally, the pilot for the long-anticipated "go go marine squad" saga has been released!
I present to you the best of retro sci-fi storytelling, the most brutal of action, and the most strategic of thinking:
GO GO MARINE SQUAD:
episode zero: cheap space labour

Play as a scout for the 91st marine reaction company, who finds out the secrets of planet balkon six. Liberate the native ape-men from their robot overlord.

-3 levels featuring the deadly robot overlord boss©!
-possibly the first ever third person shooter using planes
-over 4 tactical weapons!
-destructable terrain
-dynamic lighting
-night missions only!

DOWNLOAD
download day mode for those afraid of the dark (not recommended)



CONTROLS:

wasd move
mouse aims
left mouse button fires
rmb uses special (binoculars)
q rolls left, e rolls right
1/2/3/4 fires

OUTFIT:
instead of picking your outfit, as usual for a 91st company marine, you just take everything you can get. Future episodes (that will probably never be made) will feature outfit-picking.

space machine gun
deadly in close combat, and unaccurate like a fleet rookie bomber
flamethrower
very good against ape-men, super close range, can blind user
reaction rifle
long-range, one kill at a time
plasma cannon
this 24 kg heavy and 2 meters long beauty destroys anything it hits, but will explode at slightest obstruction. does not harm the ape-men of balkon six, because they are used to extremely high temperatures
binoculars
standard scout equipment, use it wisely
magnet suit
repairs wounds automatically, as usual



I tried putting the feel of retro sci-fi books into a game, so just imagine the super cool story part while playing.
I have no idea what I just wrote, so just play this little sloppy game and enjoy. <3 thanks

The low pixel aesthetic, darkness, and dynamic lighting make for a great atmosphere. I love it.

The SMG has a great mechanic with the decreasing accuracy. I liked the pacing it gave things. The Plasma Cannon was also really awesome. The Robot Overlord may very well give me nightmares. Really badass nightmares.

Fuck yeah this rocks.

That was great fun. Haven't enjoyed a shooter like this in a while. All the small dark wobbly sprites kinda reminded me of Amon26's stuff, especially with the tenseness that built as I played.

Loved it.
