Anyone fond of Lasersquad (XCOM and such) type games please take a look at the flash game "Mission in Space: the lost colony" http://www.kongregate.com/games/StormAlligator/mission-in-sp...

It has very nice mechanics. I especially like the unlimited shots of opportunity fire (well, limited by the ammo left in the clip) that allow for fun play while being hugely outnumbered.

It looks promising so far. The game actually explains mechanics to me is a good sign, it reminds me of Debian. Another interesting thing is separate action and movement points. I've been thinking about something like that. Basically the idea is you can move your legs separately from your hands.
