Guest Wall Bird Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Ikaruga The main game mechanic in this blisteringly hard 2-D flight shooter is this: enemies fire either black projectiles or white projectiles. Your ship has the ability to alternate between black or white at will in order to make yourself invulnerable to projectiles of the corresponding color. There are a lot of projectiles to avoid.

Nah, it was an Indie developer recently. I should've said. Arcade-Style shooters. Hey Wall Bird, do you have a link for PC? Willing to give that a shot.

I'll find an emulator one of these days. Another game I recommend is Space Phallus. It used to be extremely difficult, but sadly, the developer dumbed it down. Dicks everywhere. NSFW!
