Pilots Of Darsalon
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
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" but with a strong Commodore 64 feel on it.
... what? ... you were expecting to read some edulcorated description? ... something like the great adventure you are going to embark taking control of one of the most sophisticated space ship the engineers of planet Darsalon have ever created, and facing the enemy defense turrets provided with artificial intelligence that protect the containers filled up with "tidirium" the most expensive and explosive substance in the known universe... ?
how about that? ... still not enough? ...you need some more bla bla? ... why don't you just play the game and enjoy the actual gameplay?

By the way, when will be available Moons of Darsalon here? Hope soon, cheers and keep it awesome ;D
Hey! thanks for the purchase, not sure about MOD on itch.io , need to think about that, meanwhile enjoy POD , it's hard like the old days when you enjoyed improving your skills little by little.
Pilots of Darsalon es un original shoot'em up en el que no solo tendremos que abrirnos paso a tiro limpio, sino que también debemos proteger nuestro valioso cargamento a través de distintos niveles con una bonita estética similar a la de una Commodore 64 con esteroides.
