Unleash your inner Pen and save their world from being destroyed in the blast-off-to-Mars madness of PENS: RELOADED!

After the original version of Pens was released, it became clear that the game needed fixing. After a terrible experience when the editable file was believed lost, a backup was located that green-lit development of PENS: RELOADED. Featuring massive overhauls of every detail of the game, PENS: RELOADED is more than the game Pens was supposed to have been. Take a look at these screenshots for visual comparison!










PENS: RELOADED changes from the original:
- Major overhaul of the graphics - everything has been completely redone!
- All-new music - by spectacular composers Nijg, MUSIC MAKER, Evano, and Bofelito!
- Improved control scheme - playing Pens is now fun instead of frustrating!
- Updated level design - it's no longer possible for a mission to be in-completable!
- Rewritten story - a newly designed story tells the tale of the Pens like never before!
- Extreme overhaul of the game's engine - hundreds of glitches have been fixed!
- And so much more!

PENS: RELOADED features:
- Six enemy infested missions waiting to be conquered!
- Six tactical boss battles to overcome!
- Five different weapons to blow stuff up with!
- An amusing story of revenge, redemption, and revelation!
- And so much more!

!!!NOTICE!!!
The first level features a tutorial that requires you to complete each segment of it before you can continue. You can effectively skip it by pressing Enter each time Commander Pentagon begins taking, which skips the dialogue, and then by executing the required action. It isn't possible to fully skip it due to it requiring each action be completed, but this will speed it up if you know what to do.

Good fun game!
It's a bit to easy, although I still don't know how to kill the 3rd boss.
You should make some different enemies that can jump up stuff, and maybe throw back bombs.
Other than that I enjoyed it very much!
Keep up the good work.

Thanks! I was planning on changing a bit more from the original release (more enemies etc.) but I wanted it to be a simple green vs red story rather than adding stuff that didn't fit with the existing storyline. The reds kept their original programming from the first release because (at the time) it was the best AI I had created... and for this release, it added a touch of humour by making them super stupid. I'm not going to update it because this remake is what I had envisioned for the original, and I don't plan on straying too far from that vision.
I'll give you a hint for Commander Hexagon get in close when his shield disables and punch him. For other bosses, experiment - if one weapon does nothing, move on to another. If it does nothing the first time, it's very likely that it won't do anything a second time.

Thanks again for your feedback!

In order to pass the invisible walls, you need to complete the tutorial. You can skip the dialogue by pressing the enter key, and then complete the section of tutorial relating to it (so for the target section, you need to destroy the target relating to the weapon being described) in order to pass the invisible walls. Maybe I should have pointed this out sooner, sorry about that.
