EDIT:  Venusian Vengeance Now Available on Steam
What is this Venusian Vengeance thing and why do I want it?

What is Venusian Vengeance you ask?  Venusian Vengeance is a retro-style top-down run’n'gun.  It takes place in an alternate history where the Communists won the space race and colonized Venus.  You are sent by the Americans to infiltrate their secret laboratory on Venus to uncover and sabotage their plans for a new super-weapon.



Get it on Steam


Yes, But how Does it Look?

How does it look, my friend?  Well here’s how it looks:



Still images are all well and good, but how does it look in motion?

I’m glad you asked, good sir!


I've also recorded a commentary track where I play through the game and discus the design:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHtCL4LriBo&list=PLmCdJYpcqmzCPmG0FaWCcR2578yf-qW9k

The soundtrack is also available on Bandcamp here:  http://alecstamos.bandcamp.com/album/venusian-vengeance-soundtrack

Essentially, yes.  The game was large enough that I decided to go the digital distribution route instead of releasing it as a flash game.

Enjoying. A lot. The best way I can describe it is "satisfyingly retro".

I've only had one issue with it so far. I wasn't sure I was actually damaging the mini-boss when I fought the first one, Rocket Man. It almost felt like there was some ulterior method to it besides just shooting him, because more so than with the basic units, that at least got knocked back a bit when I shot them, it felt like my bullets were just sort of going "k-tink, k-tink" off of him.

I actually tried running up to him and getting him to blow himself up before I realized that all I had to do was shoot him.

Oh, and I had a nice laugh when not once, but twice, I failed at beating Jetpack Man due to killing him right at the same time he killed me.

EDIT: I have one more undeniably large issue with the game...

I beat it in a few short hours. :<

Glad you enjoyed.  I'll make it more clear that you're damaging the enemies in the next update.

I believe a good game leaves you wanting more, while a bad game overstays it's welcome.  I decided to have 10 levels that flowed through a smooth progression with carefully designed encounters, rather than spread out the game with filler.

I've started a series of videos where I play through the game and provide commentary.
