Deep in space, the research station Idaho stumbled upon a scientific marvel. Hours later, the station went dark. Investigate the twisting decks and corridors and discover what befell the crew of the Idaho. Dark Star is a 2D Sci-fi Horror Shooter inspired by games such as Metroid, Castlevania, Dead Space, and Halo. Within the station you'll discover alien creatures, spatial anomalies, and renegade systems, all of which obscure the events leading up to the blackout and radio silence which engulfed the Idaho. Explore, discover new tools, weapons, tactics, and paths through the station, and unlock the mystery held within. Bring a friend to experience in the terror in the 2+ player co-op, or discover and eliminate the doppelgangers in one of the many coming multiplayer modes.

The Shambler enemies from previous updates has gotten a bigger tougher cousin, the Sprinter! Moving faster than most enemies this corrupted creature will attempt to use it's tentacle as a bludgeon to end whatever it deems food. The addition comes with a change for the Shambler enemy types, allowing them a melee attack instead of just trying to bump into the player!

I could watch like 10 seconds of above video, then I got dizzy.

Sorry! The effect used to be a lot worse and it's much less nauseating when you're in control of the character (since you can anticipate the movement).

I'll try to avoid putting zerog segments in videos if I can.

If you'd like, you can skip to about 30 seconds to get past that stuff.
