Atom Scouts: Nebula
One Captain, four planets, and not a single smooth landing. A sci-fi extraction platformer.
Tonight's feature, listeners! You are Captain Zett of the corvette ASV Blinding Aegis, sent by General Gantz himself to investigate bio anomalies across a star system. Your crew is scattered over four planets, and you'll drop onto each one to find them.
Every drop is a run through a hand-built level: platforming, a chargeable blaster, creatures that telegraph their attacks, and a boss waiting at the end. The longer and harder you push, the more a planet's Contamination rises, and the creatures mutate into faster, nastier versions that also drop more.
Between drops, the ship fills up with the crew you rescue. And somewhere down there, friends, is the Chapter that sent the beacon: the Breakers of Oblivion, masked, in red and black, telling you to shut it all down and leave.

Field briefing
What you're in for
A blaster you can read
Tap to shoot, hold to charge. And here's the honest truth, friends: there is no luck in it. Every creature telegraphs. A crouch before a hop, a lean before a spit, a rear before a charge.
Contamination
The harder you push a planet, the hotter it runs. The creatures turn magenta, pick up new tricks, and drop more. Get back to the ship and it all cools down.
Four hand-built worlds
Jungle ruins! Ash badlands! Tide pools! Ice shelves! Each planet has its own hazards, its own traversal tech and its very own Bio Anomaly.
A ship that fills up
Every crew member you bring home takes a station: upgrades, a bestiary, survey charts, a library and the ship's log. It gets downright cozy.
Bosses built on patterns
A flower that must be forced to bloom. An eye whose glow announces its attack. A spider that only its own reflected light can hurt. You'll want to take notes.
Grapple, kick, dash
Earn your traversal tech and come back able to reach more. Every lamp is a grapple point, and every shaft is a wall jump.
