Plot
You are awoken in Soviet Russia with no memory of your life before. You see this message on a piece of paper infront of you,

"AS PART OF SOVIET SPACE PROGRAM, YOU [VOLUNTARY COSMONAUT] ARE SELECTED FOR THE STUDY OF NEWEST ADDITION OF SOVIET UNION, THE INTERZONE. LOCATED BETWEEN DIMENSIONS, YOU BE THERE IN HIGH TECHNOLOGY WATER SKI. START IN 1 HOUR."

With no knowledge of Russian you struggle to find out any more details and are promptly knocked unconscious. You wake up strapped to a jetski facing into a massive portal. Shit sucks.

Information
A traditional shmup with some aspects that aren't entailed with the genre. All hand drawn.

YOU CAN EXPECT
  • LYNCHIAN WEIRDNESS
  • SPACE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE
  • COWBOYS BECAUSE I WANT TO CLASSIFY IT AS WEIRD-WESTERN
  • CHIPTUNE SOUNDTRACK
  • JETSKI ROMANCE

Here's what the main character will look like in-game.
