Indie SHMUPs might not be the rarest thing in the world, but indie developer Final Form Games aims to stand out with a few unique twists. Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony features 4-player co-op (instead of the standard 2) and an interesting setting: 17th-century British Colonial Mars.

The team is hoping to tell an interesting story featuring “Famous alt-historical figures! Majestic alien landscapes! Steampunk space tech! Hard-bitten settlers taking their shot at ekeing out a better life in the New World!” and “Redcoats and Martians settling their differences with spear and space-musket!”

While you wait for the summer PC release (with other platforms planned to follow), check out some music samples on the Jamestown development blog and the teaser trailer below.
