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.

    A game called "Star Monkey" just sounds like fun :)
    I think it's a ridiculous name that doesn't fit the game at all. The game is a tough, military-themed shooter and "Star Monkey" sounds like a jokey game for kids. Doubtless quite a few people have given the game a miss because of its name, and they'll have missed out on a winner. (Plus the developers will have missed out on a sale.)
