Unlikely (no portals or daisies), but Blastar (Amiga) is a good start.Jamato said:Can I bump too?
Jamato said:I'm searching for a game too. And you guys might be my last chance to find it. I'm going to use reddit-style description.
Platform(s): PC or amiga. It was launched from a blue file manager.
Genre: Cave-flyer, shoot em up in a labyrinth
Estimated year of release: 1996 or less
Graphics/art style: more than 16 colors, i think. Top-down view, 2D.
Notable characters: small spaceship, turret, bouncing galaxy thing?
Notable gameplay mechanics: you fly with arrows and can turn (instantly) and fly in all directions. Labyrinth scrolls around you. There are portals which you have to exit, usually guarded by wall turrets. I don't think there was any inertia or gravity. Turrets keep shooting all the time, but their bullets stop at some point. Your range is better so you can shoot a turret you don't even see yet (you see it's bullets stopping in front of you). Some enemies bounce off labyrinth walls.
Other details: many weird backgrounds for labyrinth. One even had daisies (I think) on it. There was a level with dozens of portals to other levels and only one correct one.
I've played in in 1996 on Spitsbergen island and I've been searching for this game since like 2002. Sorry if this is a crappy description, this is my third language.

If not that, there was a cool game called Zarathrusta [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lchvftR7DZE] that rang a bell or two in my head, but that has inertia and gravity...but it has flowers, too! It reminds me of the frustrating spaceship level of Crash Test Dummies [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJjqmWEAUaU#t=5m0s] on the Game Boy... but I digress.
