Horizontal Shooter is a free, little but beautiful game.
Just watch the video to get the idea. You control with the mouse, shoot with the left button and destroy enemy bullets with your colorful tail.
The game is free & works with wine. (F3 to switch from DirectX to OpenGL)
| Fly about, shoot the bad guys, guard the good guys. |
Your ship now stays firmly onscreen, there’s lots more explosions, and the good guys on the left are now additional lives incase you need ‘em.
Of course, if they get hit, they still blow up, so you’d better be extra careful protecting them.
As before, you use your tail to catch incoming enemy bullets to shield the little fellows.
Meanwhile, the onslaught continues, and you can splash your nice laser at the enemy using the left mouse button. Sweeeee!!!
Your weapon’s temperature is on the top left, let it reach 99 and you’ll have to cool it down. It’s fairly rapid, though, so shouldn’t take to long to do so. In fact, there’s little segues between each attack wave that are nicely timed to a full cool-down. Handy!
In between waves, you’ll also score extra points for each ship you’ve kept alive. A little like missile command, only with ships! |
