My entry into the 22nd Ludum Dare competition, with the theme 'Alone'.

It is STRONGLY reccommended that you play this game wearing HEADPHONES. Otherwise, make sure you can HEAR SOUND. It is INTEGRAL to your enjoyment of the game!

A multi-genre sci-fi tale of heroism and self-sacrifice, 'The Best Of Us' is really four games in one. A scrolling Shmup, twin-stick shooter, rail-shooter and 2D platformer all in one, tied together with full voice acting, cutscenes and a minimalistic soundtrack. 

All control-related instructions are handled in-game. 

Enjoy!
