Sun Escapes Me

Description

Sun Escapes Me is an arcade shooter where you play as a spacecraft that must escape from the burning sun that is pissed at you for some reason.

What is?

An “OMG THE SUN IS PISSED AND YOU NEED TO ESCAPE”… game.

For some reason the SUN is really PISSED. You better be pushing your engines to the limit to escape! The gravity well of the SUN is slowly increasing over time. The gravity meter is seen along the bottom of the screen.

Asteroids knock you back and nebulas seize up your engine for a brief time.

You can use energy weapons to blow up asteroids before they hit you but if your weapons hit a nebula, they’ll bounce back at you! Maybe you can use that to your advantage somehow?
