The Colony

The Colony is a side-scrolling game in which you play Captain Montgomery, a mercenary sent to the Leah Colony to capture its chief engineer, Dr. Raynor. The orbital construction project had been progressing smoothly until the death of a chief engineer delayed it; Raynor later resumed work, but a distress signal reports that the colony has been attacked. Your mission is to find and extract him, then learn what happened.

The mission

Montgomery discovers that his AI navigator would have him leave everyone else behind in favor of capturing Raynor. M Aple Industries cares only about the secrets the doctor holds, and Raynor is not what the company claims. As you explore the destroyed station, you decide whether to carry out the mission or abandon it to try to save the few people still there. If Raynor is dead, the mission is to be aborted.

Explore the colony

You explore the Leah Colony, which is filled with dangerous aliens, monsters and bosses, as well as smoke, fire and blaring lights. Twin-stick shooting lets you aim precisely, and a seemingly never-ending jet pack helps you move through the station. The game also features voice acting, original songs, evil teddy bears, desiccated corpses and blood-speckled surroundings.
