About Untarctica
Something is rotten at the South Pole. Blast through disfigured abominations using your gun's massive recoil in a fast-paced 1-bit bullet-hell platformer. Infiltrate the abandoned Tartarus station, dodge lethal crossfire, and uncover top-secret horrors hidden beneath the ice in Untarctica!
At the frozen wastes of the world's end, a festering wound in the ice sings to you. The hive has taken root over all flesh and all steel of Tartarus Station; eldritch bureaucrats are vying for salvage rights; all suitors are ready for the ceremony. Something's trapped beyond the true glass, a will that defies death, who yearns for a vessel. It knows you better than you know yourself. It knows you will pick up your gun and fly to Antarctica. It knows you will fight as a true warrior. It has taken everything from you. You will be back.
WEAPONIZE THE RECOIL
Your shotgun doubles as a dash. Fire in one direction, get launched in the other. Jump again during the recoil window to get a second jump.
PURGE THE TARTARUS STATION
Explore the labyrinthine halls of a fallen research complex. Uncover classified experiments, decipher log entries, and survive brutal multi-phase boss encounters with grotesque biological mutants.
