Um shoot 'em up eco-friendly!!

Devo admitir não sou lá um cara que tenha jogados muitos shoot 'em ups na vida, mas de todos os que eu joguei esse com certeza é o mais facinho(não que ele realmente seja facil se você estiver jogando num fliperama real), os graficos em 16 bits são bem bonitinhos e detalhados, o visual das naves me lembram um pouco as obras do estudio Ghibli como Laputa e Nausicaa que inclusive compartilham um mesmo tema em comun que é a preservação do meio ambiente. E que surpreende(muito agradavel diga-se de passagem) ver esse tema em um jogo da década de 90, esse tema ainda é raridade hoje em dia, mas naquela época era mais raro ainda(mesmo o jogo saindo apenas 2 anos depois da famosa conferencia sobre o meio ambiente Rio-92), gostei muito de ver como mesmo com um enredo bem simpleszinho ele consegue passar a importancia de preservar a natureza. Pra min que sou biólogo e oceanografo esse jogo acertou em cheio meu coração e com certeza apesar de não trazer nada de inovador para o genero entrara para a minha lista de favoritos do genero shoot 'em up. Se você curte esse genero com certeza vai se divertir com esse jogo.

An eco-friendly shoot 'em up!!

I have to admit, I'm not someone who has played many shoot 'em ups in my life, but of all the ones I have played, this is definitely the easiest (not that it’s actually easy if you're playing on a real arcade machine). The 16-bit graphics are quite cute and detailed, and the design of the ships reminds me a bit of Studio Ghibli works like Laputa and Nausicaa, which also share a common theme: environmental preservation. It's pleasantly surprising to see this theme in a game from the 90s. This theme is still rare today, but back then it was even rarer (even though the game came out only two years after the famous Rio-92 environmental conference). I really liked seeing how, even with a very simple storyline, it manages to convey the importance of preserving nature. For me, as a biologist and oceanographer, this game really touched my heart, and despite not bringing anything innovative to the genre, it will definitely make my list of favorite shoot 'em ups. If you enjoy this genre, you're definitely going to have fun with this game.

Horizontal shoot em up, a company is polluting a planet and a science man tells you to destroy them all. Main feature is the arm you control that can rotate around your ship while acting as your gun arm and a defense against bullets it hits and a weapon against enemies it connects with. Every enemy drops gems that 1, 2, or more points getting 20 calls a ship that gives you a weapon upgrade and choice between four weapons. A weaker sub weapon of vulcan/bomb/homing shot can also be gained. The sub weapon you lose on death and it is more rare to get a new one but the game is generous with the main weapons, death drops you down to levels out of the max five but also drops you some gems while keeping you with the same weapon you had when you died, losing all of your lives and spending a credit to continue will drop a pickup to instantly max your weapon out. Also a really nice and obvious feature that most games wouldn't do is that when the weapon upgrade/change ship comes the first weapon it drops defaults to whatever you are carrying so it can make it a lot faster to get it off the screen if you are trying to dodge shots. First 3-4 stages are easy then starts to become much more difficult, though the generous upgrades and max upgrade on death mean that getting hit isn't that big of a deal. Looks good, enemies don't have much variety but a lot of the larger ones and bosses do have destructible points that change or stop certain attacks.
