Eighteen years ago the planet Nebula was attacked by the Lone Star System, arch enemy of the Interplanetary Federation. Its population decimated, the few survivors swore to protect its future with their lives.

That time has come.

Just beat Deathsmiles (with a few continues). Been meaning to play it for a WHILE. Killer shooter, I mean, what Cave shooter isn't. On sale right now for 50% off, just $9.99USD - lowest I've ever seen. Highly recommend. Kill a fire god and a Tyrannosatan, just another day in the life

Feels good to be back

WinoFly– various screens and edits

This is a Galaxian-like game where you move left and right. And shoot. And the theme is flies. Various colorful and cheerful sprites. And Windows 3.11 design. I've now improved the menu. There's font scaling. And a menu for selecting the screen scale. It is, after all, a vertical shooter.

Today I looked it up and I am convinced: #StarFox is a #shmup.

In both #StarFox and classic #ShootEmUps like #RType, the #player controls the same two axes, left, right, up and down. The #game moves you forward automatically in both cases, whether the screen scrolls sideways or into the depth.

A true "rail #shooter" would be something like #VirtuaCop, where you have zero movement #control and only aim. #StarFox gives you full freedom on two axes. The label "rail shooter" is simply inaccurate.

#StarFox is a #3D shmup. That is all.
