About the Game

Martian Panic is a rail-shooter for 1 to 4 players where your goal is to stop a Martian invasion. The game is set in a retro 50's Americana universe, rendered in a comic book style. The narrative takes place across 8 levels such as a classic diner, a drive-in movie theater or the Great Pyramids of Giza.

Gameplay & Core Systems

Completing a level will unlock the next one, with all the unlocked levels directly available from the selection screen. There are 3 skills levels to chose from: Cadet, Ranger and Ace. As in most rail shooters, the players have no control over the movement of their character and can only move their weapon cross-hair to neutralize enemies before they can shoot them. This is done by pointing the Wii Remote at the screen and pressing the B button to shoot or collect power-ups. Switching weapons is achieved by pressing the A button, while reloading is done by aiming downwards off the screen and pressing the B button.
