About Shoot them up

You control a small, angular ship at the bottom of the screen. Your job is to survive waves of geometric enemies that descend from the top. The main objective is to clear each stage by destroying every enemy, while dodging their return fire. You have a standard forward shot, and holding the fire button builds a charge for a wider, more powerful spread. Enemies sometimes drop power-ups that change your shot pattern, like lasers or homing missiles. The pace is relentless; new enemies enter the screen almost as soon as others are destroyed, creating a constant stream of targets and bullets. It feels like a focused test of your reflexes and positioning, where every movement matters.
