Presenting my spacier version of surt's Space Merc. The run cycle is super basic, but they can aim in 48 directions while running.

Also includes weapon fx and collectible/power ups.

Here you can find some enemies to shoot: https://opengameart.org/content/super-dead-gunner-batch-2

And some environments to shoot them in: https://opengameart.org/content/space-merc-redux-platform-shmup-tileset

The explosion here is based on this one from JRob774 (CC-BY 3.0): https://opengameart.org/content/pixel-explosion-12-frames

Surt's original Space Merc (CC-BY 3.0) is here: https://opengameart.org/content/space-merc

lol i painstakingly tried doing animations and modifications to space merc myself before i discovered that someone did all the work for me :)

viroidplanetstarmarine

and it didn't turn out even 10% as good as yours. d'oh!

i'll be using your version with my colors when i get back around to viroid planet.

Great work, i used lots of your sprites in a shoot-em-up prototype, hope you'll like it:

@ced30 It looks cool! Very arcadey! I couldn't play it with those controls though.

Technically you should put a link back to the OGA sources in there somewhere, in order to keep to the terms of the license.

After I finally noticed zwonky's comment, it inspired me to add some different colour schemes for the character, and try to make it easier to recolour.

For my own amusement, and because I haven't found time lately to work on anything much new, I brought the final boss of Turrican 2 into the Super Dead Space Merc art set. No license for this guy, obviously. He's only visiting to take part in a mockup. All the other assets in this image are from other subs in the series.
