Shoot Them Down
About Shoot Them Down
Jumping and shooting share your attention here, which is more than most side-on shooters ask. Left and right move, space jumps, and enemies arrive at heights that require you to be airborne to hit them, so standing still and firing only handles the ones at ground level. Being in the air also means you cannot change direction, which turns every jump into a commitment. The interplay between those two facts is what gives an otherwise plain arcade shooter something to think about.
How to Play
- Move with the left and right arrow keys.
- Press Space to jump.
- Time jumps so you are level with airborne enemies.
- Commit to a direction before jumping, since you cannot steer mid-air.
