A top-down-shooter metroid-like.

Ridiculously laconic description inside, this is a quite intriguing shoot-'em-up set in a non-Euclidean maze.

At the start of the game you're virtually helpless. All you can do is move and dodge the unintelligent enemies around you. Then, you finally find a weapon, a nice little blaster with great range, but there's one problem: it can only shoot in one direction.

Making clever use of the weapon you can work your way through and get to another weapon. Excellent, the combination of these two will ... you can only carry one at a time.

Greaaaaat.

This is a challenging maze-based shoot-'em-up (which you may need to map) where you have to desperately shake as much use as you can out of each weapon before you have to swap it back for another one for the next puzzle.
