There was a pop-kun here. It's gone now.
A long time ago, maybe 5 or 6 years ago? I really can't remember. There was a thread for indie games. In this thread I found a side-scroller that I remember looking similar to Out of This World. Game play (if I'm remembering this right) was asfw for left right and up down (you could fly.) You used your mouse to aim/shoot. Anyone know what game this is?

Probably OnEscapee.

It does fit the description very well and thank you for the reply. But no this isn't it. It was more, I guess pixelie (less like Flashback, more like OoTW) and one of the main mechanics of the game was using your mouse to aim/shoot at enemies. I'm fairly certain you started with a jetpack or something that allowed flight.

Do you remember if it was freeware, a commercial indie game, or abandonware 90s game?

Freeware

I should add it was in space.

edit: it was super low key in the thread. I won't be surprised if nobody can tell me what it is, but it would be awesome if someone could remember it. I've tried google but I can't think of any good searchs to bring up anything useful.

This is sounding more like Abuse to me, although you don't start with a jetpack.

Alternatively, Iji maybe?

it was a lot like Abuse, but more pixelie, again a lot like the style of Out of this World. Low detail and very dark. Lots of Black/Grey/Reds in the atmosphere of the game.

Not Iji but closer to the graphical detail but not style of the game (if that makes sense)

I'm still googling stuff. If I end up figuring it out on my own I'll post it, but keep the suggestions coming. Someone is bound to know it.

edit: I'm pretty sure the thread was during 07 or 08.
