Last Resort (Shoot'em'up) by Kabal

screenshot 1

Last Resort is a horizontal shooter in the vein of R-Type. It is yet another game made using the incredible flexible Fenix engine. The graphics here are top-notch, with beautiful scaling backgrounds, vibrant enemies, and 1 mean looking end boss. The musical score is present throughout the game, and it's a great track that makes the game feel almost cinematic. Sound effects are very good as well, my only problem with the sound is that the volume on the sound effects are too low, especially compared to the music. The presentation in this game is very professional, there are multiple title screens, and a nice looking game over screen. You start off with a simple gun, and gradually gain power-ups along the way. One neat power-up is a "tank" you pick up. You hold the "A" button until the charge is full, then let it go and the "tank" flies across the screen tearing into any enemies it may encounter, before coming back at you for another go! There is an end boss, but he's fairly easy. My only real problem in this game is the length, there's only one level with one boss. But you only have 3 lives before game over, so it's still a bit of a challenge. Overall, this game is deffinately worth checking out, especially if you're into shoot-em-up's!
