The Brief

A lovely looking revisit to one of my favourites, as we once again tackle the space-based world of Horizontal Shooter.
This time around I've focussed more on Keyboard/Gamepad controls, rather than my usual focus on Mouse control.
The game still throws oodles of lovely effects onto the screen, but unfortunately the lovely blur-scroll of the original has been lost a long long time ago.
Modern 3D-based graphics engines simply can't cope with good old fashioned 2D effects!!

But there's oodles happening onscreen, so that's ok!

Controls

Movement
Fire
Alternatively, use the mouse, but I honestly think that the keyboard/gamepad is a smoother control scheme.

How not to Lose

Don't die!!!
And protect those ships. They're all you've got.

What I didn't do/Possible Improvements

Powerups, Splitting into stages, Better background effects.
But as it is, it's a lovely little game.
