Reviews

“Believe it or not, this simple, Robotron-esque space shooter contains one of the most simple, subtle, and clever methods of developing player/character empathy I've ever witnessed.”
Destructoid

“Gamma Bros. is proof you don't need fancy video cards and polygons to make an immersing game. Just a good eye for composition.”
Jay Is Games

About This Game

The Gamma Brothers spend their days working hard aboard a massive space station near Jupiter. What are they building? Something very important, probably.

The Gamma Brothers also understand the importance of not working. Every day at quitting time they hop into their commuter vehicles for the long, difficult journey back to earth. Every day on their way home, they are attacked by ships and creatures of unknown origin. Swarms of alien vessels, bizarre creatures, and relentless attacks stand between them and getting home for dinner. 

Gamma Bros is a fast and frantic arcade experience inspired by classic twin-stick shooters. Blast through waves of enemies and switch between brothers on the fly to keep your run alive! Whether you're chasing high scores, reliving the feel of classic arcade shooters, or just looking for a quick burst of action, Gamma Bros keeps things simple, challenging, and fun. After all, their family is waiting.
