Derelict is a top-down third person shooter taking place on a spaceship. It was developed by Laughing Dragon Games in conjunction with some artwork and marketing contributed by Hamumu Software. All of the music was created by Mark Fassett himself, and he also continues to create music.
Story[]
In deep space, your salvage team has run across a derelict starship with the seemingly mis-chosen name of "The Dire Circumstances". Their loss, your gain. There's only one minor problem. It's teeming with aliens![2]
Gameplay[]
Derelict is a fast action game with unending hordes of enemies coming at you in more than sixty levels of mayhem. Play with either of two different characters: Rachel Riveter, whose gun shoots streams of rivets, and Demolition Ralph, whose love for explosions really helps him out of some tight spots against thirteen different alien creatures. And if you've got a friend around, pull up a gamepad and have them help you clean out the aliens!
The core gameplay consists of having to make your way through the levels (inspired by games like Gauntlet with monster generators) and head to the exit. As you complete more levels, more will unlock in the overworld.
Other Modes[]
There's also a mode that features no time limit but increased amount of aliens which are also stronger.
