Baron Galaxy

#GJGDC2017

Baron Galaxy is a 2D run and gun with procedural generation inspired by classics like Metal Slug, Gunstar Heroes and Contra. The game offers a rapid run and gun experience with a solid combat and tight controls.

The universe is at war with the Gokhans. An aggressive Alien race who plans to take over most of the Universe one star at the time. The Gokhans it’s a vast empire that has no allies but a lot of power.(Mainly because their quick reproduction and development to adult stage).

Baron is a mediocre mercenary in the Intergalactic Mercenaries Space Agency (IMSA), but he always dreamed of being a legendary mercenary among the stars.
Baron has a lot of friends in the IMSA, but the most important of them is Colt P., a robot that rebelled against his masters because he developed sentience and now he roams the universe like it’s the wild west, but he trusts Baron because he is warm hearted (and it’s not opaqued by his incompetent behaviour).

The IMSA doesn’t care about politics but as everyone else they are also at war with the Gokhans, so they often incur on missions of sabotage and destroy of the Gokhans assets because it's a very profitable business in terms of selling gokhan weapons, and also to ensure that the universe is free for everyone.

Baron as a member of the agency is sent to various task, but as his incompetence is well know he is sent to minor or isolated task around the universe.

On one of these missions Baron uncovers the Gokhan's master plan on an isolated planet that could put the universe in entire danger, once he uncovers the truth he barely escapes from death on the planet and returns the agency HQ empty handed.
As expected, nobody believes him so it’s up to Baron and his friends to uncover the Gokhans plans, stop them and save the universe.
