M.A.R.S., a ridiculous shooter, is a top down shooter game.
Backstory[edit]
In a far-future colonised galaxy, a GREAT WAR is raging between nameless adversaries.
Gameplay[edit]
In one of several game modes, two opposing teams are fighting in a gravitational 2D space with a few planets, including their homes. Each teams can consist of one or more players. Players can be human or bots. Human players can play on opposite teams or cooperate and play on the same team.
The game's visuals provide ample effects and jarring colours, including pink.
Development[edit]
Translations, numerous weapons and AI bots are implemented. Network play was planned for a later version.
Initially, the game contained some non-free media. Hans de Goede provided a fully free version by replacing sounds and fonts, while the Hungarian symphonic metal band Obsidian Shell gave their permission to distribute the music tracks they contributed under CC-BY-SA 3.0, instead of the original CC-BY-NC-ND 3.0.[2]
