Developer's Game Description

Stranded with a failing ship and a lack of supplies after narrowly escaping certain death, a lone space marine must find his way home.

The closest sign of civilisation: a remote mining outpost on Dysnomia, moon of the planet Eris. Forced to make an emergency landing and with all attempts to make contact with the outpost failing, the marine must scavenge what he can to refuel and repair his ship - and perhaps discover the fate of the outpost's inhabitants.

Classic shoot-em-up action in the vein of Alien Breed and Gauntlet, with a few Team Mango gameplay twists thrown in. All coated with lashings of blood.

Featuring two-player co-op, survival and exploration elements, and detailed hand-crafted 2D art

Developed using C#/XNA in ten months, from May 2009-March 2010. Originally released on Xbox Live Indie Games and a top-20 finalist in Dream Build Play 2010.

"A good, solid and enjoyable survival shooter with fun co-op" - Dominic Tarason, XboxHornet.com

"Dysnomia has more than enough action to satisfy twitch shooter fans, but also offers enough depth, story, and exploration to satisfy Metroidvania fans" - Scott Nichols, GayGamer.net

"Best Adventure Shmup Yet..." - Geoff Gibson, DIYGamer.net

"It is what the recent Alien Breed Evolution on XBLA should have been!" - Dave Cole, Gamergeddon.com
