All those who have gone before you have perished. Star Gard! Retro-shooty platformer for PC and Mac that rethinks character death.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun explains how it's respawn system is unique..

Linux version? No? ok then. Guess I'll have to write my own. What else is new.

Not sure why they didn't just ... put the files up on the web. I put the Mac copy on my server.

This is pretty okay until the last level, which is outstanding!

Very fun.

The mac version is flash, runs fine in Linux (if you have flash...)

Is there a trick to not falling through to the lava? On level 8 I just made it through the horizontal barrage then fell through immediately after.
