Compact Plasma Gears

Compact Plasma Gears is a retro shoot'em up inspired by the NES-era classics. Pick a character to fight through ten levels, beat equal number of bosses and a significantly higher quantity of regular enemies.

The Preamble
An archaeological discovery in an independent mining system piques the interest of special services of Five Galaxies. Space Federation of the Second Galaxy rushes in to secure the finding and sends the Third External fleet under the ever unscrupulous command of Admiral Tai'nor Farth - though it seems local pirates also caught up the smell of profit, and if they did - so did everyone else.
What to expect from the game?
Pick up weapons to your liking (and try to keep them if you can avoid those space rocks)

Use score acquisition to fuel up your superweapon

Select a character to play as - the grumpy yet reliable chainsmoker Cap, or the volatile femme fatale Lady

Execute a potentially legal mission on behalf of Space Federation's Third External Fleet

Fight through space, mining facilities, space elevator, futuristic cityscape, and, of course, sewers

Note on language support
The game now supports not only English, but also Ukrainian, French, German and Japanese languages, with further support being in development. French, German and Japanese local versions are experimental and created using machine translation (the mighty Google Translate) to be updated further down the line
