The Life of Mars is a Keen 1 levelpack created by Sodium. The second half of the levelpack was built in 2 days. A few of the levels are mainly focused on enemy shooting and excess points. It comes with a few modified graphics (the red ground and Lollipops are changed to green) and a slightly modified world map that now only requires 5 levels to beat the game.
