Sarahen and Devilan, princesses of the Dark Kingdom of Tenumbrus, were kept isolated in their castle, away from the rest of the world's light. Tired of being confined to their rooms, the sisters escaped from the shadows and fled into the outside world. Little that they knew, the outside world seemed to have something against them: their kingdom is in the midst of war with the Light Kingdom's Mystik Cavalries, and the dark monsters, fearing for their princesses' safety, are trying to bring them back to the castle. The tale of the Tenumbrus Princesses has just begun.

If you feel any of the following symptoms: The need to fly around in 3D space, the need to blow up asteroids, or the need to gaze upon large space ships, planets, and moons from a small star fighter, then you may have a serious case of space flight deprivation. Luckily, there is a cure. I came up with this cure for space flight deprivation in about 8 hours, it's not FDA approved yet, so use it at your own risk. Controls: W and S or ↑ and ↓ to increase / decrease throttle. Use the mouse to rotate the view. Hold the left mouse button to fire your space craft's turbo laser cannons.
