Dimension Defender

The Dimensional Wars have been raging for three years already. The Government's special Defence Force has decided to try to finally end it by sending nukes to the other dimension. But there are still people trapped there, held hostage.

With just days to go, Bryan Wayne defies government orders and takes it upon himself to travel to the other dimension to save as many people as he can, in the hope that he will also find there his beloved.

Part visual novel, part side scrolling space shooter. You're going to have to juggle work, making deals, and managing your budget to upgrade your interdimensional spaceship so you can save lives and kill aliens!
