Shmup

Introduction to Shmup

Players steer a ship and open fire on every squad of foes in view. The action flows forward and enemies move in tight formations. R-Type and Galaga helped shape this style of nonstop combat.

Pilots slide their craft in four directions to dodge incoming fire. Enemies appear in tight clusters and unleash waves of bullets in set patterns. Power-up pickups boost firepower and help players stay ahead of mounting threats.

Battles stream in without pause and demand split-second moves. Each new wave brings faster projectiles and denser formations. Survival hinges on exact control executed with clear attention.
