Captain Kaon

Captain Kaon is a retro twin-stick gravity shooter with vibrant Amiga-style pixel art. You pilot a gunship through gravity-based environments, using twin-stick controls or 360° mouse aim to fight enemies. In Campaign Mode, you manage resources and choose missions.

Story

Earth has settled habitable worlds in the Regulus sector, but a strange alien force is attacking the colonies. The Interstellar Navy sends its finest ships to defend them, leaving the old vessels behind under the flagship Argus. With a skeleton crew, the fleet of relics is tasked with defending Earth.

Captain Talia ‘Kaon’ is hot-headed and insubordinate, and was facing a court martial when war broke out. She is left behind and assigned as the Argus’s sole gunship pilot. Meanwhile, the miners of Ceres revolt against Earth rule and refuse to supply the fleet with the deuterium fuel it needs. Without that fuel, the fleet in Regulus cannot fight and Earth will be vulnerable. Kaon must fly through the twisting tunnels beneath Ceres’s surface to fight the revolt.

Combat and missions

You battle enemies with twin-stick controls or 360° mouse aim, and carefully select missions while managing resources in Campaign Mode. The game uses classic sci-fi tilt-and-thrust gravity-based gameplay in pixel-art environments.
