Great Glacier

aka: Sky Shootist
Moby ID: 115595

Description

Great Glacier is a Xevious clone. Like its more famous sibling, it's an overhead space shooter in which the player must take out a variety of enemy ships and structures while fighting their way to a boss. Also like in Xevious enemies can be found both on the ground and in the air; the player's primary shot travels forward through the air, while the secondary shot is a bomb with a fixed arc which takes out enemies on the ground. There are powerups for both shots; powering up the primary shot increases its horizontal range, while powering up the bomb turns it into a much more flexible missile. After the player either defeats the boss or fails to defeat it during its time limit, the game's single level loops back to the beginning.
