Untarctica (Vertical Slice)

Something is rotten on the South Pole.

From 3 months now, all contact with the Magnus Coriolis research station has been lost -- all human contact, at least; Disfigured monsters will still make regular calls, but their wet squeals and clicking growls are unintelligible even to the most advanced AIs.

A preemptive bombing was begrudgingly outruled by the UN, as the benefits of instantly clearing the threat failed to outweigh the loss of decades worth of ultra-classified science. The situation must be carried out... artisanally and, most importantly, with the utmost secrecy that no armed force could ever achieve.

This situation needs someone who has done it before, no matter how long ago; someone like you.

We've reached our first vertical slice of Untarctica after 8 months of full-time, closeted development. Now it's time to let our fellow players see it and help guide the way forward.

Current Features:

• A quirky mashup of bullet hell, 2d platforming, shooter and a bit of metroidvania, for flavor
• Blazing fast gameplay (if you want it to be)
• Super responsive controls
• Unusual, grungy artstyle, mixing low-resolution 1-bit sprites with crazy low-poly backgrounds
• About 30 to 40 minutes of gameplay
• Two flimsy monster species and one tough miniboss

Known issues:

- Mac and Linux will be added pretty soon!
