Any sale the game gets from now on is going directly towards funds for supporting Ukraine.
Space Mercs is an extreme arcade space combat game where the amount of projectiles and lasers on-screen is only toppled by the amount of stars in the universe! Will you be able to complete all the mercenary missions and become the best pilot in the Galaxy?
Throughout the game’s mission campaign you will dodge, chase, fire, escort and absolutely obliterate enemies ranging from small drones to huge battleships while bound to a single rule: “If it moves, it dies“.

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. ....Pretty colors? Maybe?? No, I can't play this game. Hardly any sort of support of mouse, very minimalist options. Changing the resolution is hit or miss. I don't recommend.4 found this helpful
Moronic idea to not support mouse.2 found this helpful
This game is only for a very specific kind of person to play, I have to assume the designer. First, it's a light space shooter, a way to kill time while listening to something. Second, due to the difficulty, there's a sense of mastery gained because you really do have to get good at this old school hard game. Flight is extremely bare-bones: you can slowly accelerate or decelerate and reverse, or jump to top speed or brake instantly, and you aim with the WASD keys, not the mouse. There is control mapping, but it has a tendency to switch back to defaults without warning. The two special moves are boosting which is strangely used for precise aiming control, and the dodge roll which doesn't seem to prevent damage but is useful to avoid smashing into other ships at the last moment. Weapons use energy to fire and consist of either a selection of primaries to buy, or one dumbfire missile that will only hit with luck or from close range. The primary weapons start with a free pew-pew laser and go up to an expensive shotgun-like railgun which feels like shooting a bunch of light chaff.
