About

Experience a “rescue-oriented,” retro-styled platform game featuring sophisticated physics. Embark on daring rescue operations alongside your teammates, guiding them towards the nearest safe haven. Battle adversaries with your powerful laser gun, jet pack, obliterate obstacles, and carve new paths using the terrain modifier tool.

In this scenario, you’ll find yourself leading teams of explorers known as Darsanauts who have become lost during their mining operations on various moons of the planet Darsalon. Your mission is to guide them safely back to the nearest base station. These teams will utilize their built-in AI to follow your lead and comply with your orders. Along the journey, you’ll need to safeguard them from perils and adversaries using your laser gun, jet pack, operate ground and air vehicles, demolish obstacles, and even create new paths with the ground maker gun.
