Hyper Wars: The Mega Firestom is a fine vertical shooter with a gameboyesque graphical style. Shoot your way through well designed levels while powering up your ship and defeating big bosses at the end of each stage (plus some medium sized bosses at the middle of a level).
According to the developer it is already about 40% completed.
The game is been made by the same developer who is also working on the colorful horizontal shooter Epileptica Forte.
I just asked the developer whether this game is canceled or not and he responded:
“Working on it on and off; more off than on.
At some point it’ll be done… some day…”
From the homepage:
A 2 coloured vertical shooter inspired by Solarstriker, Truxton, raptor and all that other stuff i played over the years.
I’ve tried to keep it somewhat gameboyish.

I will never download a game that contains offensive language, it might be dangerous or so I’ve been told.
I must say, that looks good, but also there must be only GB colors (werent there only 4) so no alpha is allowed. Alpha makes more colors and that huuuge mistake if he is going to make GB-stylished. “Alphas” must blink/twinkle/flash or whatever (appear, disappear, appear etc.).
And GB wasnt capable rotating sprites like in game we see. It may even make colors that arent allowed.
But these are just little details, that I just dig up. In playing you wont even notice that, truly amazing work ;)
