About this game
Your name is Arlo, Arlo P. Barnaby. You and a crew of sixty other Miners are sent out to the outer reaches of the solar system and stationed on an obscure desolate moon for the next six months to mine for valuable moon rock deposits. While mining, you and your crew unearths an ancient evil and it awakens to wreaks havoc upon the living! Scared and alone you barricade yourself inside of your living quarters and hide from the evil for days. When you realize it is either you make an escape attempt or wait to die, that is when you venture out into the abyss of evil to save yourself!
* Single Player-Action-2D Platformer!
* Reminiscent of those games that used to be played on those 8 bit consoles of yesteryear!
* Three different weapons to utilize! (blast rifle, bolt shot, super missile)
* Nine different levels, featuring six different boss fights!
* One epic escape attempt!!!!!
***For best playing experience use wired-USB, NES style controller!!!! You can also use the keyboard, but I highly recommend a NES style controller. For some reason XBOX and PlayStation type controllers with a lot of different buttons doesn't map out correctly. Feel free to experiment though!!!
***Also game might not play in "Full Screen" mode. You might have to play it in "Windowed" mode. Then just maximize the window to fill your monitor's screen.

Space Mutants 2 in Development!
Space Mutants 2 is currently in development! I have no idea when it will be complete, but things are rolling along nicely. This time around the game play experience will take a turn from being a linear playthrough to a more pf an open and explorable world. Think Metroid on the NES. Of course I will release it free of charge once it is complete. I'd rather the people play it than for it to just sit on the shelf and collect dust, lol. It will have all of the old monsters and bosses plus an additional 13 new enemy types! If you'd like to follow along with the development of this upcoming Space Mutants 2 release, here is the link to it's development page. https://www.nesmakers.com/index.php?threads/space-mutants-2.8935/#post-52942Read full article on Community Announcements (timbone666)Patch NotesOfficial

Things are coming along nicely with this huge expansion. New levels, New bosses, and new game functionality have been added to Space Mutants!
