A fast-paced shoot-em-up for two to four players. Fly through different levels in your small rocket and fight your enemies with several different weapons. The last man standing is the winner. This game in the caveshooter genre is well-thought out and has balanced gameplay. There are fantastic bitmap graphics - many levels are simply beautiful - which bring a classic arcade feeling to the game and give it a really polished touch. You can configure this game from a traditional PC caveshooter gameplay (with thougher ships) into a really hectic sudden-death match where your rocket explodes as soon as it touches a wall, floor or any such solid obstacle... which happens a lot unless you're careful. Fortunately you can also set the number of lives for each level. This mode often leads into players trying to distract each other by telling very bad jokes and other mischievery... that's a sign of a compelling game if any. And of course there's a load of powerful (or just fun) weapons, numerous power-ups, a selection of ships and a system which keeps record of a few player statistics - rather nice if you play a lot - plus a "hidden" worm game on top of it all. |
