Brief: 
Hybrid Mech Shoot-em-up/Omni-Directional Shooter with Custom Flight Waypoint Super Weapon.

Hooks: Two Forms-Two Genres, Custom Path Phoenix Missiles

Summary:
Have you ever played a shmup ("shoot-em-up") game and thought to yourself, "What if I could put this thing in reverse and check out a different direction or go back for something I missed?"
Do you ever find yourself thinking, "Yeah, this game is pretty cool, but I wish I could transform into a giant robot mech?"
It's okay, we've all been there before my friend.
Phoenix Walker is a fun genre-bending game that lets you freely switch between an on-the-rails shmup and an omni-directional shooter similar to a twin-stick shooter.
Can you master both forms to beat the boss?

Controls:
Mouse & Keyboard
(Refer to On-screen key-bindings for specifics)

Two Forms-Two Genres:
Freely transform between your spaceship mode and robot mode (As long as you have ground to land on) to switch not only forms but also genres!

(Tip: You'll have to master both forms if you want to beat the boss.)

• Spaceship Form - Arcade Shmup: Play a fast-paced on-the-rails "shoot-em-up" vertical scrolling shooter in the vein of classic arcade titles such as Galaga or Gradius.
• Robot Form - Twin-Stick Omnidirectional Shooter: Play a a more methodical off-the-rails shooter akin to arcade classics like Robotron: 2084 that not only packs significant fire-power, it also lets you move in any direction even backtracking the smhup map! You could even explore indoor dungeons your spaceship would crash in! 
  
  

Custom Path Phoenix Missiles:
Screen-clearing bombs are a common sight in many shmups, however Phoenix Missiles are much more fun.

Instead of a simple click followed by a boom killing all enemies, Phoenix Missiles instead freeze time so the player can strategize and express skillful planning.
(Tip: Corvette enemies have a 100% drop chance for Phoenix Missiles. Use this to your advantage in the boss fight!)

How To Use:

1. Pick up the glowing red bombs with a (P) on them to gain a Phoenix Missile.
2. Right click to freeze time.
3. Left click to set each waypoint you want the missile to fly through.
4. After picking the final waypoint, the Phoenix Missile launches and destroys enemies within its path!
