Slap Fight

Slap Fight is a vertical shooter in which you pilot the faster-than-light spacecraft Leopold against the artificial intelligence Goudy. Built by an alien race to advance science, Goudy revolts against its makers and spreads an evil influence across 300,000 light years. You take on the AI as a lone warrior.

Fight and power up

A two-button control scheme is easy to learn and challenging to master. You use a gauge-based power-up system to expand your ship’s firepower with bombs, lasers, missiles and more. As your ship gets stronger, its hitbox grows, so you must destroy enemies before they lock their sights on you. The game also challenges you to overcome complex encounters and uncover hidden secrets, with a soundtrack by Masahiro Yuge.
