Escape to the Empire
@newagekid52New York City, 202X. A prisoner on Rikers Island dreams every night of a sun rising over the water, and of running toward it. Then he wakes up, the prison has exploded, and every cell door is open.
A dropped radio says a portal device sits at the top of a tower in the Financial District. Step through, and you're in The Empire, where nobody can touch you.
An NES-style first-person gallery shooter with chiptune music: the city scrolls past as you fight across 8 stages, from Rikers Island through Queens, Brooklyn, Midtown, the Flatiron District, SoHo and Tribeca to FiDi.

- Switch weapons with 1-5, the mouse wheel or a radial weapon wheel (hold Q)

- A tough boss at the end of every stage, from the riot captain to the Sentinel mech guarding the portal
