Platform(s): PC
Genre: Action
Estimated year of release: Between 2000 and 2006
Graphics/art style: Sidescrolling, as far as I remember the textures and graphics were somewhat polished, including the enemies and the protagonist.
Whenever you move, if there was terrain in the background, it would also move according to your movement. (didnt think otherwise m8)
Whenever a missile hit the water, the water would splash. Other explosions had neat particle effects, other projectiles were great too. Especially missiles. The water would also wobble when projectiles hit it.
The games is also slow paced, so you could have enough time to react to incoming projectiles.
Do NOT confuse it with a generic Shoot 'Em Up game! (Like Jets'nGuns), the game would allow you to move back and forth (If you had a vessel that can move).
Notable characters: Playable characters (In the demo/trial) are: A small gunboat, and a defensive platform with anti air defenses. The enemy had at their disposal the following as far as I can remember - Purple(?) colored B-1 look-alike bomber that shoots missiles?, and fighter jets. There would be way more, but that's as far as I can remember.
Notable gameplay mechanics: I think you can play as aircraft, since I only had the trial version, I could only play as a gunboat and a defense platform (Oil rig w/ turrets?).
Also, there were roman letters (I, II, III...) in the HUD, which I'm guessing that it indicates weapon upgrades or something like that.
The game is mainly about shooting down enemy aircraft. Also, it is VERY similar to the now Early Access "All Guns on Deck" game on Steam, but only with the consecutive combat.
Since I had the demo version, the first level was an ocean which you had to destroy all the enemies (?) which included light bombers, fighters, etc... the second level however, was arctic with glaciers in the background but I couldn't play it because after a few seconds it asked for a serial code.
Other details: The game is set in modern era. For its time (~2006), explosion effects, particles, projectiles, and general graphics were very neat.
I've been looking for this game desperately for years now. I would be very happy to find it. Thanks!
