SideRanger
A downloadable game
SideRanger is a fan-game based on the works of System Erasure, namely ZeroRanger.
Some time before the invasion of GREEN ORANGE, some of their forces have attempted to subdue the planet's defense from the ground. The space elevator's safety has been threatened, and such you will be sent to defend it on foot.
SideRanger reimagines ZeroRanger as a side-scroller run n' gun game. Featuring a Tutorial and one Stage with plans to expand it in the future.

This is awesome!!! I love ZERORANGER!!!
Genuinely this is a very novel gameplay format, and I could see this being expanded outside of just a ZeroRanger fangame and into a full unique experience. I would recommend looking at something like Bleed 2 for an example of a game with similar style.
Thanks for making this! I wish you well on your future endeavors!
i luv bleed 2 :] it probably did influence me a lil hehe
Super stylish! I'm no good with games that uses this many buttons, but I somehow got it on my second try. It's pretty awkward to jump while locking your aim. (I somehow can't clear it a 3rd time to get a time trail time on the board. Maybe I just got lucky the 2nd time?)
