Arcade Hits: Shienryuu

Twisting alien dogfights. Towering armored mechs. Smoldering molten metal. Your life expectancy here is measured in seconds. If you’re not one of the best, you’re a smoking crater. Gekioh is a brilliantly rendered arcade game that spans a galaxy filled with futuristic foes. Fly alone or with a friend – this is survival of the quickest!

Gekioh is an enhanced port of Shienryu. This release adds the following game modes:

– Pocket Mode: imitates PocketStation graphics, with deliberately primitive visuals consisting of heart-shaped enemies and blocky ships.
– Comical Mode: music and sound effects are replaced by laughter and applause (when the player reaches a high score).
– Stingy Mode: the player has only one life and no continues; only two levels are playable.
– No Mercy Mode: a harder difficulty level.
– Slow Mode: darker graphics and sound effects reminiscent of horror themes (e.g. enemy and player-controlled ships scream when destroyed). All sprites on screen move slower, but the amount of bullets fired by enemies is increased.
– Ancient Mode: the screen has a yellow tinge and displays “cracks”; music is changed to reflect a “retro” setting. Accept | Reject
