Shoot the Evil

By: Tim

On: August 8th, 2006

A trend presumably started by Postman from Shoot the Core, this peculiar gimmick of naming things really took off when Zun began shooting bullets.

Now we have Hyper Wars: The Mega Firestorm taking the Zero Wing route. Currently a work in progress, the author cites influences ranging from Truxton to Raiden and several other classic arcade shmups from the yesteryear. Imagine cramming them all into a Game Boy display and we have a basic idea of what this Game Maker effort is all about.

Standard power-ups and boss encounters like the one pictured above can all be expected out of this humorous production. But watch out for the strong language, though.

Is it just me… or is that a giant vagina with cannons?!

It’s just you. Your crazy. I don’t see any vagina.
YES!

INDEED! It’s a vagina, you wouldn’t know, geek, ‘cus you have never seen one, but I can even see what seems like hair on the right and left sides.

And, this game is of a really slow pace, it bored me quickly…

You gotta start slow, and work your way gradually up to the frenetic climax. It takes patience and control, and probably a lot of sweat, but it’s worth going to the extra effort.

It’s probably the easiest shmup I posted in a while. Sorry about the slow pace.

I’ll post some extra difficult ones next. :)

Oh, so it IS a vagina!
