A retro, side-scrolling, adventure shooter

Author Comments:

UPDATE: Wow! Front page! Thank you! I'd like to say that, yes it doesn't have much of a story, but it's only supposed to be a fun run-and-gun platformer made in a little over a week. And yes, we love Cave Story!
UPDATE 2: Now with a better intro and some tweaks.
Made for Flixel February!
Press P to pause. You can also use SPACE to jump and CTRL to fire.
We got it in *just* under the wire, and it's kind of rough. If you find any bugs or problems, let us know!
You, the lone crew member on a small vessel, find a space station near the edge of explored space beaming out a distress call. As anyone would do in such a situation, you blindly investigate.
Features include multiple weapons, rocket jumping, fast physics, and a retro style.
I would like to thank Synteza for producing the loops for us. They're awesome.
