Enter Membrane Massacre. The year is 2160. A deadly bacteria is sweeping the world -- the likes of which medical science has never encountered before. The world's best doctors have failed to find a cure. And so what is the fate of mankind? Enter Dr. Smallship, the recent inventor of a high-powered shrinking device. With two-and-two quickly put together, it becomes obvious that the only solution is to use the shrinking device to shrink powerful combat fighter ships to a microscopic size, and use them to battle the sinister bacteria! Come on. How tough could a few of these cytoplasm-suckers be? Fight your way through four grueling randomly generated levels, through hordes of bacteria that jiggle with realistic physics. Take command of one of five unique microscopic space fighters, and unlock new and powerful weapons with each one. It won't be easy, but everyone agrees that you're the best low-salary pilot for the job! Membrane Massacre is a coffee-break style game, with the intent of being ideal for short action-filled sessions. The game was originally the product of a half-month contest, but ended up seeing a total of five months of development, into the polished state it is in now. So take a shot at the devious bacteria lurking within, and see if you can defeat the evil bacterium boss, El Mucho Membrane! Controls and other details included in the README file. Good luck, pilot!

First of all, congratulations on a job well done :)

I've played through the first two levels' waves and halfway through the third.
The weapons are really cool, especially the laser. Too bad the machine gun doesn't recharge when you switch to a different weapon though.
I really liked the destructible environments. But is it really okay to freely unload high-DPS ammunition inside a living human's body? :D
The levels do get repetetive after a while. Some monsters shoot back, especially the end bosses, but there don't appear to be any powerups lying around or anything, so it boils down to just killing while strafing.
Your note about taking images from Google has me worried about potential copyright issues. I hope you've delt with that.

Anyway, nice game.

Congratulations. Very good game indeed.

I like the plasma theme and flying around is fun. The engine
scrolls smooth and looks good. You just to have to get used
to the controls. It took some time to figure out how to strafe
( A/D ) correctly.

Neverthless, great game - well done!

Regards,
MrE
