A Beginning

Today, in Big Calendar Sky Year 226, Planet Big-1 is about to end to its own hubris.

A company is about to launch its new robot weapon with no safeties. You must rescue everybody you can from the end of the world.

This 2D sidescroller takes place inside a space colony called Toy World, from which you can watch the apocalypse play out across the heavens. You will collect armor and power-ups, you will customize yourself to your greatest desired strengths, and you will have to defeat an enemy who learns from you. Your mission ends when the monster is defeated.
