About Pilots Of Darsalon

Your job is to locate and transport the containers to your base avoiding enemies on your way. Your ship is equipped with a hook to carry the containers. This is a physics based arcade game, inspired on the very early classics such as "Thrust" , "Gravitar", "Lunar lander" and "Solar Jetman" for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) but with a strong Commodore 64 feel on it. Some people would say it's a hybrid between c64 and Amiga.

This game is a "pre-spin-off" (yes i just invented this word) of the magnificent and ultra gorgeous ... https://store.steampowered.com/app/1234180

An absolute work of art, and one of the most plainly enjoyable cave-flyers I've ever played. Some of the best pixel graphics you've ever seen, and the physics are among the most satisfying you'll find in any similar game. It is short, only a dozen or so missions, but difficulty and visual options offer quite a bit of replayability. Gruesomely underrated.

Authentic retro aesthetic coupled with modern physics and handling. Simplistic, but this is a challenging and engaging arcade title!

As someone who loved Sub-terrania on the Genesis growing up I feel like this game is for me. But the controls are insufferable. On a controller the d-pad is disabled, and on the keyboard the down arrow is the beam/shield with no rebinds?

An incredibly well stylized and underrated gem. Frustrating in all the right ways.
