Tau: The Last Star
Can you defeat the fog?
The year is 7777. A rogue AI hailing from the ruins of the Solar system spreads its misty red tendrils towards planet Gaia, mankind's last refuge. Racing to meet its avatar, you're the Tau system's only hope.
Overcome the odds in a space shooter after the style of Space Harrier, with lightning fast pseudo-3D combat.
Heavily inspired by the works of Tsutomu Nihei, Evangelion, and more, fans of dark, gritty, snappy action sci-fi will want not for atmosphere.

This game is absolutely amazing, I had fun from start to finish, the graphics and art style as a whole are 10/10, the music fits so well, the controls are responsive and the Gameplay is extremely fun for how simple it is. Consider me a fan of this project.
I liked the story, the game has some great inspirations and it makes them more than justice both in lore and character design.
My only suggestion would be to maybe slow down the text a little bit since the character conversation it's easy to miss.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! Your words are very welcome and encouraging, I'm glad that the vision resonated with you so much. I don't check itch.io too often, so I didn't see your comment for a little while. We're continuing the game, and have made a lot of progress on the engine front, as well as have sketched out a bunch of extra levels and bosses.
