Lunaria - horizontal shooter (33.4Mb)
This has been described as the best horizontal shooter of the year when it came out in 2007, so it is nigh on time it put in an appearance in the forum here! It’s a Doujin title and there’s a choice of 2 or 5 minutes play to score as many points as you can (Can you beat 25,000,000 points?). Magical power-up orbs are found by shooting tiles. It requires DX9 + DX Web runtime files found at Microsoft HERE, but also needs a fairly decent graphics card and at least a 2GHz CPU so it may not run on some laptops/notebooks. Select in-menu and shoot with the ‘Z’ key, and move using the 'Arrow' keys. You can adjust the number of lives between 1 and 9, and there are 3 difficulty levels. Gamepad use is supported and your high/low flying speed can be set to suit. The window size can be scaled by size between 1x and 3x depending on your monitor resolution and CPU speed. Grab it while you can if your computer is fast enough to run it! It’s quite surreal to play, with you as a witch girl on a broomstick and various fanciful enemies. Spectacular game with absolutely awesome graphics and sound!
