The briefing

About this game

BraveStarr is a side-scrolling action-adventure game based on the 1980s space western cartoon series. Set on New Texas, it follows Marshall BraveStarr as he attempts to rescue the captured Shamen and stop Stampede's plans.

The game begins at Fort Kerium, where players can enter buildings, talk to characters, and examine rooms. Outside, they jump, shoot enemies, and collect power-ups. BraveStarr has one life, and taking damage reduces the remaining time instead of a life-energy meter. The mission must be completed within nine minutes.
