LK Shoot (Shoot'em'up) by Ronan Leroy

screenshot 1

Another shootemup for the collection, sir? It's always nice to see original ideas explored when an age old concept is used, LK Shoot has a few interesting twists in what might seem to be an ordinary shootemup at first.

You will soon find that although it is a vertical shooter, the controls are slightly different, as well as forward and backward moving you up and down the screen, they control the speed that your craft is going. It's tricky at first as you can't maneuver around bullets so easily and the affect of approaching enemies is a little disorienting, but it works quite nicely. Another nifty feature is the L+R buttons that allow you to roll your craft left and right, avoiding bullets as you go, it doesn't make it too easy though as you still have to judge when the roll will finish so you don't just land on a deadly sprite or two.

It's all packaged rather nicely with an on screen display of speed and distance travelled and there are various weapon powerups that are rather pleasing to use and the game over screen tells you your score and the average speed you were doing. If you like the odd shootemup, you could do far worse than taking this baby for a ride!
