Standing Order

Standing Order is a 2D sci-fi shooter that takes you from orbit to planetfall to boots-on-the-ground combat.

The machines down there received an order centuries ago and never received another. They have been replicating ever since, unchecked, and nobody is left alive to call it off. You go down to end it.

Features

• Three phases in one continuous run: space, descent, ground
• Waves of self-replicating machines that never stop coming
• Fast, readable 2D shooting with escalating pressure
• Short sessions built for replaying and beating your own run
• Plays straight in your browser, no download needed

Controls

Arrow keys or WASD to move, mouse or action key to fire. Full controls are shown in-game.

Built with Godot. Standing Order is in active development and keeps evolving version after version — currently at v16, with 12 of 13 milestones completed. Feedback in the comments goes straight into the next build.
