Here is my 2D space action game, The Chaser's Voyage, inspired by Star Tours, FTL, and more.
Hello everyone,
My friend and I spent years working on our sci-fi game called The Chaser's Voyage. It's a 2D space action game inspired by Star Tours from Disneyland and taking some gameplay inspirations from FTL: Faster Than Light and other classic space sims, where you have to manage and allocate power across systems in real time while dodging obstacles and battling enemies. The goal of the game is to earn enough money to pay back a space pirate before the 100 day time limit (kind of like the original Pikmin). Each mission contains a variety of randomly generated encounters. So you'll never know if you're flying through a ship graveyard guarded by sentry drones or dodging asteroids with a bounty hunter in close pursuit.
Our game offers two difficulty modes. In Captain Mode, you have one life to complete your voyage, creating a high pressure and rewarding experience if you manage to do it. Our Voyager mode is a lot more casual, with infinite retries and tons of customization options to cater the experience to exactly what you want.
Game game offers a fully voice acted crew that interact with each other and gives you important information during your flights as well as colorful villains hot in pursuit of you, including pirates, bounty hunters, and two warring factions you get tangled up.
Our game is currently available on Steam along with a free demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1473130/The_Chasers_Voyage/

I'm not sure if this is a requirement here, but this game was developed by a two person team, including me (F) and my best friend who is trans fem NB and we contracted from all sorts of people to make this game. The game's tone is that mix of serious and lightheartedness you might expect from a game like Kid Icarus Uprising and includes tons of lore that gives you backstory on the characters and the universe as well as unlockables.
We both hope you try our game's demo and like the full release as well. We worked really hard on it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
