short warp
noun
1 : a rope tied directly to a harpoon, often through the lance eye; once commonly used in 'whaling' - the hunting of cetaceans for food and industry
2 : any single "jump" of faster-than-light travel where the departure point and end points are separated by less than approximately two million ship-legges in real-space (exactly 2,097,152 Cosien-standard ship-legges).
What were once remote, but routine deep-space shipping lanes have become dangerous territory infested with swarms of aggressive, parasitic creatures. To counteract this menace, the Cosien Corporation has placed public bounties on these creatures, paying a price-per head for confirmed kills.
Some say the creatures were drawn to Cosien space by the fuel that runs our ships, and that they feed on the exhaust in our wake. Others say we're encroaching on their territory as we expand further into unexplored regions of space. Still others say these creatures merely portend a much greater - and much larger - threat, the legendary deep-space whales.
Most people say those claims are nuts, and the Cosien corporate line is that they're just a rumour - but some of the bounty hunters insist they're real, that there's something out there. Something big, and getting closer. Something that you can only believe in when you see space itself move...
But you don't really care about any of that.
Bounty fighters don't come cheap, and interest rates are at an all-time high. All the Cosien Corporation really cares about is one thing: credits. You've got a big lease on a ship and you've got the skills to fly, but only confirmed kills pay the bills.
No quarters? No problem! Don't even know what a quarter is? That's okay! Short Warp: Deep Space Bounty offers a bevy of classic coin-op shoot 'em up action at your convenience, no change required!
Multiple arcade games with multiple play modes incorporate top-down and side-scrolling challenges. Story mode offers scripted sequences of hand-crafted levels for a fine-tuned variety. Infinity mode offers a neverending stream of pseudo-random, procedurally generated levels.
Create multiple player profiles to save your unique input, presentation, and other settings and gameplay history. Get straight to the action without any distraction: after a one-time setup, implement the 'Quick Boot' feature and never see the main menu again!
'Deep-as-you-Wish' starship mechanics present intuitive, responsive controls and familiar gameplay built on top of a deep, complex, and finely tuned physical simulation including kinetic, thermal, electro-magnetic, and gravitic forces.
But you don't have to care about any of that if you just want to shoot the pew-pews cuz BOOM! 'Splosions are cool! If you want fast, intense, twitch-game action - Short Warp: Deep Space Bounty is here to pick up and play!
On the other hand, if you'd like to study the stats of a deep catalogue of fuselages, engines, weapons, and other ship components that you can combine into unique ship configurations delicately balanced to your specific strategy and gameplay style, then Short Warp has a bounty for you!
Or you can choose from an array of pre-balanced ship designs purpose-built to a variety of play styles.
Whatever you wish, may you find fortune in the stars...
