Two interstellar travellers, a man and his dog (it seems to have become a quite common custom to take your pets on interstellar rides, if I might add), land on an alien planet. After a short conversation they encounter the first inhabitants, and, as it is also custom for interstellar travellers, fire their guns while some crazy funky music is playing and eradicate.
Soon the strangers make their way to the planet ruler, an unsightly creature. With an evil grin (at least as far as our two interstellar friends remember), he asks them: “Have you met my children yet? Hahahaha!”
Jan Willem Nijman and Jonathan Barbosa Dijkstra have built a nice little tale here that is bound to teach you some things about yourself, about humanity, and, above all, about the butt-ugly word shmup.

Of course, Jonathan! I did a fierce google search for your website, too, but only ended up finding a 25-year old garbageman by the name of Jonathan Barbosa who stole some diamonds in GTA IV and in the end gets killed by the player – is that really you?
Uhm…if not, send me a link to your portfolio and I will happily include it.

Well my name is actually Jonathan Barbosa Dijkstra, thats probably why you didnt find me. But my name is too long for posting. My own portfolio isnt actually up yet, just an old school portfolio with a bunch of bad assignments id rather not show :p If you google my full name youll find a post on indiegames.com though, where Jan Willem states that I indeed worked on this game aswell. Oh and no, im not the garbageman who stole diamonds in GTA IV. Atleast I dont thinkso…
