Matryoshka Strike

Matryoshka Strike is a colorful shoot-'em-up featuring characters from Russian fairy tales and backgrounds with characters from paintings by classical Russian artists. You play through multi-level stages with straightforward gameplay and increasing difficulty, accompanied by a dynamic soundtrack. The game also includes a bonus “infinite” level.

Fairy-tale characters

The cast includes Matryoshka, Koshchey the Immortal, Baba-Yaga, Dragon Gorynych and Vodyanoy. Matryoshka is a painted wooden doll with smaller dolls nested inside. Dragon Gorynych is a flying, fire-breathing dragon whose number of heads is a multiple of three, most often three.

Baba-Yaga is a sorceress who lives in a hut on chicken legs. Koshchey is a powerful evil sorcerer and king whose death is hidden inside a chain of objects: an egg inside a duck, inside a hare, inside a chest buried beneath an oak on an island at sea. Vodyanoy is a dangerous water spirit who lives in a river or lake and can transform into animals and other forms.
