2D Shoot Em Up with these specific characteristics?!
I was wondering if there is a 2D Shoot Em Up (Horizontal or Vertical), where you start off with all weapons maxed up and as you progress your primary weapons’ power / ammunition gradually decrease?!
So in this fashion you’re forced to kill off everything fast and complete each level before your primary weapons are completely depleted?!
The closest to this scenario I can think of are 2 Shooters:
Carrier Airwing / U.S. Navy (Arcade/ Mame)
Where your energy bar / fuel tank is gradually decreasing (especially even more if you’re shot)!
Macross 2 (Arcade / Mame).
The levels have a timer pushing you to finish each level and boss fast before it runs out.
I would like to try something different more challenging and more adrenaline oriented than the classic 2D Shmup formula.
It can be on any system, as it’ll do just fine ;)

1943 for the arcade fits this as well as Carrier Airwing does. I'd argue it's a better game too, although I do enjoy Carrier Airwing as well.
If you want a fun experience download the free game rRootage and download the sounds I have altered (and music replaced). My sounds are much more pleasing to the ears and they also don't distort like the ones that come with it. I prefer IKA mode. Any game with an IKA tribute mode gets bonus points in my book.

I just thought of another game which kinda fits the bill, Every Extend Extra. You play a mine and your goal is to blow up as many enemies as you can. However you not only have a limited amount of time, but you also have a limited number of mines.

Out Zone by Toaplan is vertical/walking shmup that might interest you. :wink:
