Starseed 2 (Game Boy Color)
GAME OVERVIEW
Starseed 2 is a classic arcade-style shoot 'em up in its purest form: armed with a limitless supply of bullets - and your wits and cunning - the aim is to destroy the waves of aliens and avoid their barrage of bullets as you perform attack runs on massive dreadnoughts!
The game is divided into multiple stages, each comprising a myriad of attack waves. Each stage is set on a different dreadnought and features a varied array of enemy types.
That's it. Go play.
GAMEPLAY
The gameplay in Starseed 2 is simple: your ship can move freely around the screen, while the enemies appear from the right. The aim is to destroy as many enemies as possible while avoiding the endless barrage of bullets.
You start the game with three reserve ships. After losing a life, your new ship is temporarily invincible for a few seconds.
ENEMIES
Starseed 2 features a diverse array of enemy types, each with its own personality, behaviours, and firing patterns. Learning the attack strategy of each enemy will serve you well and help you to pinpoint which enemies to tackle first.
POWER-UPS
Starseed 2 features numerous power-ups designed to temporarily turn the odds in your favour, including temporary invincibility, smart bombs, and extra lives.
