A sumptuous shoot’em up, heavily inspired by Dangar UFO Robot (arcade, 1986) and Terra Cresta (arcade, 1985), both influenced by Xevious (arcade, 1982), to name the whole family.
You upgrade your ship by donning a series of “armours”, which slot into each other to form the ultimate weapon.
This game left a strong impression on me, especially for its intro music.
Note: Press the “Enter” key to transform the armour and “Space” to use a bomb.
In the same vein, you could also try DoDonPachi (arcade, 1997).
