The scans are complete, and your handler sees just one blip on the radar. A small spaceship, drifting aimlessly, with a signature that couldn't belong to anyone but her... Right? Don your gear, grab your weapons, and take up the mantle of Space Lass! as you navigate a spaceship overrun with hostile lifeforms, searching desperately for its pilot: Your best friend... and the one that got away. space threnody is a first person shooter adventure with atmospheric sci-fi horror sensibilities and sprite-based 3D environments that push portable 8-bit hardware to its limits.

We're also excited to announce a publishing deal through WOW! So Limited Games! Their team has been working closely with us up until release day to make sure the standard physical cartridge release and then limited edition physical collector's edition of space threnody are everything our fans want them to be. You can place your pre-order here!

EDIT: Hey Team Slime fans! Our sincerest apologies to those who pre-ordered a physical copy of space threnody through WOW! So Limited. If you aren't part of our mailing list, you may have missed news of their sudden closure. We have nothing but love and well wishes for the former employees who are searching for new positions right now. Just an update on where we're at with refunds, since some of you have been asking and we want to be as transparent as possible... communication with their CEO has broken down, so we are currently reviewing our legal options. Our legal advisor says we can't share anything further at this time just to maintain the integrity of our case, but we'll let you know when there is more we can say. In the meantime, we encourage you to enjoy the digital release of space threnody!

Each connection completes the same way it has a thousand times before.

The servos on your mech whir to life.

There's another wretched planet in ruins, but with no locals left to save, your orders are clear:

KILL EVERYTHING.

Slot mods into your weapon's upgrade matrix, unlock nodes on the grid to make permanent improvements to your mech, and then hop back into the action over and over again.

With 14 weapons, 81 mech upgrades, and even more unique mod combinations in your arsenal, you are Machine Lass! And you must eradicate the killer robots that ruined this world.

Revel in the mechanical excess of SCHERZOMACHINA, an action roguelike from the creative minds behind Fallstar, Witch Machine, and Bloom Cavatina — out now.

Since wrapping up restoration work on Witch Machine back in 2019, the Video Memories Project's inbox has been full of messages from people offering to send us builds of unreleased Game Boy games on which they once worked.

While we can't respond to every message we receive — and we don't have the resources to restore every build we're offered — a team member will always reach out to you if we're interested in your unreleased game build. As an apology for our radio silence over the past year, we wanted to take this opportunity to finally release a game that we've been working hard to restore!

FALLSTAR was developed by "Team Slime," a group of friends trying to make an arcade shooter that would outshine the very basic ports of big-name arcade titles like Space Invaders and Galaga, which dominated the genre on the Game Boy.

Ultimately, the game's publisher annulled their contract. A company representative explained that they had no interest in challenging industry titans behind the games that Team Slime wanted FALLSTAR to take on. Discouraged from putting more time, effort, and money into the game, the friends cut their losses, halting work on FALLSTAR in the final months of its development and dissolving Team Slime as a corporate entity. There has been plenty of innovation in the handheld arcade shooter space in the three decades since the Game Boy was released, but our team members keep going back to FALLSTAR. Sometimes it's to try different crew member abilities; other times, it's to take down the bosses that punctuate the game's intelligently generated stages.

Having played the game so much ourselves, we felt compelled to restore and release FALLSTAR for everyone else to enjoy, too!
