About
POWER-UP is a fast-paced retro-style shoot-'em-up from one-man studio Psychotic Psoftware, blending classic arcade action with a tactical weapon progression system.
Inspired by legendary SHMUPs like R-Type, Hellfire, and Project-X, Power-Up delivers intense side-scrolling battles, massive bosses and a devastating arsenal of evolving weapons.
Pilot the experimental fighter Weapon-F through the wreckage of humanity’s last escape attempt and strike back against the reptilian invaders who destroyed Earth.
You are the last human alive.
Your mission is simple.
Revenge.
• Classic side-scrolling arcade shoot-'em-up gameplay

The Earth has fallen.
As the pilot of the prototype fighter Weapon-F, you emerge from the shattered debris of humanity’s final escape shuttle.
The reptilian war fleet that wiped out mankind still occupies the stars.
Against impossible odds, you launch one final counter-attack.
Humanity is gone.
But the war isn’t over.

Геймплейно какие-то задатки годноты есть, но лишь отчасти. Плюс визаульная составляющая - полный отстой. Мне кажется, что авторы пытались вдохновляться Super Stardust с PlayStation - но делали это неправлиьно. Не улавливали те нотки, что делали стардаст годным проектом. В мусор, короче. И вам бы это, сменить название компании. И логотип. И джингл. И интро побыстрее сделать или дать скипать...
Remind me on the 90's...
Old School, vom feinsten.
Its a side-scrolling shooter. Fire key is J because why? Good points are, uh, it has cards? Enough said really.
Not very funny Game...
powr
Well its average, not too bad or too good...
