Droid Assault
Droid Assault is a fast paced shooter that is inspired by the classic Paradroid.
Your mission is to destroy all robots in each level to progress to the next stage… However don’t kill all robots immediately because you cannot win the war without proper support. You need an army of robots! (the game offers 48 different ones)
So…in order to build that robotic army you have to use the convincing power of your laser beam to convert foes into friends. After that process you can control your newly acquired soldiers instantly and switch between them easily with the push of a button…
Build army, collect powerups, shoot robots. Awesome fun!

Hyperspace Invaders Zero
Hyperspace Invaders Zero is a frantic vertical shooter with abstract graphics where you blast away massive amounts of enemies and collect their souls to increase your firepower.
Gameplay itself is pretty minimal because only the left and right arrow keys are needed to control the ship and its slippy laserbeam. However the simplicity doesn’t make it an easy game due to the sheer amount of stuff that is happening on screen.
Moreover by reaching a decent score you will unlock a Space Invaders and a Paratrooper remake.
The training mode offers 108 short waves whereas the normal game comes with 5 levels. (Demo offers ~25 training waves and 3 levels in normal mode)

In the beginning I thought that the game wasn’t that interesting… but after a few rounds the game got better and better and revealed its whole mesmerizing charm. Overall pretty cool arcade fun.
