Official Description (Ad Blurb)


REMOTE LIFE is a 2D Side scrolling space shooter for PC (Shmup) that can be played with Gamepad (Twin Stick), or with Keyboard & Mouse.
The Graphics are huge 3D pre-rendered sprites and are gorgeously animated. It is full of cool menacing Monsters. The backgrounds look fantastic and fit perfectly to the Alien world. The Bosses look so infinity creepy and scary that the cg-artist had to design them with closed eyes ;).
There are an immense number of weapons. You are surrounded by such a Brutal-Frenetic-Sci-Fi-Techno-Alien World that is so brilliantly credible that you can almost smell the gasses that the aliens create when you blast them off. The soundtrack fits perfectly to the theme and the pace of the game. This game is is a full immersion in an unseen world.

Trivia

Developer

  • The developer was almost 50 years old when he finished Remote Life.
  • This is the first game the developer has developed.
  • Remote Life has been developed by just one person.

Development

  • The enemies are inspired by deep sea creatures and insects.
  • It took around 3 years to develop Remote Life.
  • There was a level were the gamer could fly with a huge destroyer and shoot many bullets from 3 different turrets. It has been cancelled and the developer turned that level in one of the escort levels.
  • The game had at the beginning 23 levels, but the developer has compressed a few levels so that at the end there are 16 + bonus levels.

Sequels

  • At the beginning there were plans for a buggy and a mech suit. They have been pushed out to a possible sequel.
  • Planned are two sequels: Fearless and Multiverse. Both are a mix between shoot 'em up and platform game.

Easter egg

  • If you reset all progress in the options, you will be directed to the "techno skull" where you can pull down the "water cooling switch". It actually works. The water drops down and the skull overheats. You can switch it on so that water rises again to cool down the skull.
