About Horizon Shift '81
Horizon Shift '81 is a single-screen, wave-based shooter with a retro style. You control a ship at the centre of the screen as enemies approach from above and below, switching between the top and bottom to meet them. The game can also be played in Tate screen mode.
Fight along the horizon
Enemies behave differently when they reach the horizon: some stay there, some destroy sections of it, and others run up and down its length. Your ship can dash into enemies to knock them off the horizon and smash them into incoming foes for a score bonus. Knocking an enemy off the line refills the dash meter, letting you chain dashes to score more points.
You can also jump, including upside down, and use a bomb that clears enemies from the screen and restores the horizon.
Leaderboards
Global leaderboards let you compare scores and compete for the number-one spot.
