Power Force

Power Force was one of those straightforward shooters you'd find on Flash game sites in the early 2000s. It didn't try to be anything more than a quick, accessible action game you could play in a browser.

You pilot a small, angular ship against waves of enemy craft. Your main goal is simply to survive each stage by clearing the screen of foes. You move with the arrow keys, fire a constant stream of bullets with one button, and have a separate key for a special attack, likely a screen-clearing bomb. The pace is relentless; enemies come from all directions, and the screen often fills with their projectiles. It feels like a constant, tense scramble for positioning and survival.
