Overkill Protocol

Introduction

In this top-down, twin-stick shooter game, you play as a corrupted robot, fighting against the robots that are defending their spaceship against mutants and corrupted entities like yourself. Destroy enemies, collect their systems, and use them to get stronger and destroy even more. 

Story:

In a distant corner of the universe, scientists and astronauts joined forces on a bold mission: to discover and study potentially habitable planets. Equipped with the latest generation spaceship, they arrived at a mysterious world that bore a striking resemblance to Earth.

What started as a promising expedition quickly turned into a nightmare. While collecting plant samples, they unknowingly brought back seeds with strange and unpredictable properties. What seemed like a simple discovery rapidly evolved into chaos; the plants mutated, spread uncontrollably, and overran the entire ship.

The last surviving crew members, desperate and outmatched, developed advanced technology: autonomous combat robots and high-powered weapons designed to fight the ever-evolving flora and mutant lifeforms for years to come. But it wasn’t enough. The balance had already tipped.

You play as one of those mutants—evolved, self-aware, and intelligent enough to hijack the system of one of these war machines. Now, you're using the enemy’s own weapon against them.
