<div align='center'>(click image to jump to the game)</div>

this FPS game runs entirely in your browser, it just requires the unity engine plug in for firefox which installs before it downloads the game.
Interstellar marines features Terri Brosius , the voice of shodan in system shock 2, as the computer SARA (SHE IS A GODESS AND WE ARE INSECTS.)

heres the developer christmas special log:

What sets it apart from other shooters?

sheena_yanai

holy crap... this is getting like impossible. just played the training campaign easy, followed by medium, its like those yellow runner bots turn into the sprinter carl lewis, barely survived some of the waves, and now im on the beginning of the next difficulty level. damn , this might get challenging now. mostly use the red dot attachment, headshots are getting on the medium level very important because the torsos are armored , those huge slow robots go pretty fast down with headshots, but take almost 3 magazines to the chest.

Thansal

Finished of all the waves, no deaths.

Once you realize that the point of the game is avoidance and not marksmanship it makes a bit more sense. Run like a scared bunny.

Svenpa

After crashing the game 5 times in FireFox and getting various bugs (flashlight shines madly over 90% of screen, walls not rendering in waypoint training, lost all lightning effects, freezing every few secs) I'll still say it was pretty fun and professionally done.

Oh, and one bot smashed itself by tripping on stairs, heh.

Ran pretty smooth for me even on high, just some stuttering while it was loading new rooms which is to be expected for something unreleased. I can't wait to see this finished, it feels like a really good shooter

from the time before the actual ones were finished. seriously.. they looked quite laughable

also there is their vision, making a game for the love of the game, make the most awesome game you ever wanted, make it yourself, because publishers will just ruin everything and will claim the intellectual property on your ideas

he shares the indie vision :p

Drfuzzy

Exactly, that is why NS2 is turning out so nicely :)

The game has alot of difficulty keeping track of my mouse. Keeps losing connection. Hard to play effectively in a shooter with your crosshair locked in place.

maybe you should post that in their feedback forum rather than here, helping them to iron this out, at the moment they are glad about any feedback they can get about the latest preview
