Gameplay

The gameplay is really simple. Shoot anything, dodge everything. The exceptions being, don't/can't shoot the enemy fire(so dodge) and you should'nt dodge power-ups.

There are a few different styles of enemy planes in the game. There are little ones that go down in 1 shot, slightly bigger ones that take 5 shots, some bigger then that which take more shots, and finally really big ones that take a lot of shots. Color doesnt matter. Almost. There are some orange ones that fly in groups. Destroy the entire group to gain a power-up.

There are a couple different power-ups.

1 will make you shoot 4 shots instead of 2. |||| instead of | |.

Another power-up will give you 2 extra jets on your wings. They each shoot 1 shot, raising your maximum to 6 shots.

There is a power-up that will clear all enemies on the screen when you pick it up.

There are 1 or 2 others, I assume one is for additional rolls, but I can't really tell for sure.

The Good

Well, its an old shmup, so you shouldnt expect too much from it. It's a neat and sort of fun little game, but if you are used to more then this will dissapoint.

The Bad

Well, there are a few bad things in this game.

The sound is horrible. High pitched ringing effects, no real background music to speak of

The weapon power-ups, they do nothing. Sure you may shoot 6 bullets, and it only takes 2 to down a plane, but it still takes all 6 shots. Even if only 1 of them actually comes close to hitting the plane. You may shoot a shot wide enough to hit both of the enemy planes that are staring right at you, but only 1 will go down.

Graphics are boring, plain and generic. The Enemy bullets were hard to see in some areas due to the colors used, but that may have been the idea

Once you hit 1million points, the score rolls over to 0, and continues on like that. If you play for high scores, you are warned.

The ending was horrible. All it said was "CONGRATULATION"

So there you have it. The game is just a simple shmup. Power-ups serve little purpose. Maybe a little insurance for the 32 stages, but nothing too impressive.

Some screenshots. The ending, game over, and gameplay.
