Embark on a top-down 2D classic journey as Saucepanhead I - Pangalactic Panic, where your every move in this adventure RPG battles the zenos of Vega across the cosmos.
About this game
The year is 1991. The location is a city in the mid-west. You know... that one. Planet Earth is in peril, and there's only one plucky outsider who has the wherewithal and headgear to defeat the incoming alien army... SAUCEPANHEAD! (Mainly called that because he has a saucepan on his head.)
SPACE IS THE PLACE
Gather a team of not-quite-fearless and generally unqualified acquaintances to fight off formidable extraterrestrial foes as you progress on an exhilarating and sometimes unusual space adventure to save the galaxy. This is the untold story of an event that has been kept under wraps from society until now. Play as plucky outsider Saucepanhead in Saucepanhead I - Pangalactic Panic, a retro turn-based rogue-lite RPG like ma and pa used to play!
Travel across the galaxy from your small home town through a swathe of dramatic landscapes in retro RPG 2D top-down style. Visit some familiar locations from B-movie favourites and spot the subtle and not-so-subtle sci-fi Easter eggs as you go!
Some procedural levels aboard the UFO and on the alien planet lead to a different gaming experience every time.
Interact with on-map characters and engage in very silly dialogue throughout.
PAN-GALACTIC PANIC
Fight multitudes of strange and unusual alien enemies in thrilling classic RPG-style turn-based battles.
On map and off map enemies spark the scintillating battles. Use a variety of humorous class-based skills that apply to the different characters, such as Lab Assistant, Plucky Outsider and Cheerleader, buffing up your team or employing powerful Turbo Power special moves to win the battle. You can grind to build up your XP and learn awesome and amusing new skills.
The game features a totally rad chiptune soundtrack by Murray Atkinson and Joel Steudler, along with super awesome retro pixel graphics by Jason ‘Final Boss Blues’ Perry as well as additional artists, giving it a chilled synthwave vibe.
The game has multiple endings depending on your peaceful or less-diplomatic actions, so should keep it interesting with multiple playthroughs. There is one very evil ending which we're not even sure is possible to beat, but technically should be, against the Galaxy-swallower Kwai-zharr - we'd be very interested to hear if you can beat it!
Contains mild cartoon-esque violence, some sassy backchat and saucepans.

Saucepanhead I Quality of Life Update
It's taken longer than intended as we didn't know what we were doing, but we think we've finally got there in the end and it looks like the blank screen bug has been fixed properly! If anyone finds any other problems, don't hesitate to let us know and we'll try to blindly rummage around in the darkness to find or stumble across the answers as soon as we can. Apologies for the delay, but we really didn't know what we were doing, and we kept getting distracted by brilliant new games we're working on. We also added WASD movement because that's something people seem to like that wasn't in the game previously.Stay groovy!Read full article on Community Announcements (anotherdimensiongs)Patch NotesOfficial
