Starscape Revives 2D Space Shooter

Posted by simoniker on from the bydo-empire-looking-miffed dept.

ViperG writes "A small development team known as Moonpod has developed and self-published Starscape, a top-down 2d scrolling PC space action game. You can download the full game for a modest fee of $25, or just try the demo out for free. I haven't played a game this fun since the good old DOS days. If you don't want to take my word for it, read Avault's review." Other readers also point to positive reviews from StaticGamer and from NetJak for another worthy indie game.

    If you're looking for a good free one then I suggest Subspace/Continuum. It's free and has been going strong for years.

    You're right, I wouldn't steal a car. But if it were possible, I sure as hell would download one!

    If you want to call that mess "going strong"...

    If you give it a try, please come in and try SVS (standard VIE settings) zones, rather then the insta kill zones that seem to be so popular. SVS suffers from a lack of players, but the gameplay is infinatly more rewarding then the super zones once you get it down.
