M.A.R.S. - a Ridiculous Shooter

M.A.R.S. - a Ridiculous Shooter is exactly what its title promises: a fast-paced space shooter that has little interest in taking itself seriously. Players control a small spacecraft, blast waves of enemies and collect power-ups while navigating increasingly chaotic battles. The colorful presentation and deliberately humorous tone give the game a cheerful personality, even when the screen is filling with enough projectiles to make the laws of physics nervous. Beneath the jokes is a solid arcade-style shooter built around movement, timing and learning enemy patterns. It is compact, energetic and refreshingly uncomplicated. If you enjoy games that know they are ridiculous and simply decide to have fun with it, M.A.R.S. is an entertaining little trip into space.
