Scratch

Looking for a good way to kill some time? In the mood for explosion packed space action? Well, if you answered "yes," then you're in luck. What makes this shooter different from the numerous other ones that are all pretty much the same, in one sense or another? These are just a few things that make this fast-paced game a must play...

1. Epic music and sounds: I mean, seriously, what's a space shooter without a good soundtrack and sound effects?

2. 360-way, all-directional 4-sprite scrolling engine: About as advanced as it can get on Scratch. Not only does it incorporate an omni-directional scroller, but it's only 4 sprites so it runs faster!

3. Radar. What more can I say? Keep (highly accurate) tabs on your enemies, and always know where you are! Very handy, as space can be quite confusing sometimes.

4. Easy to control. Uses the mouse and one optional key. Don't be scrambling across the keyboard finding which button fires the cannon, only to have to find the movement keys again because you're flying right into enemy fire.

Now that I've got your hopes up, I won't disappoint you!
