Stinger: Episode 1

Stinger: Episode 1 is a shooting game set during a conflict between the Gilbey Allies and the Starrichnaya Empire. At Stardate 87, the Empire breaks a long-held deadlock by invading Imperial Bombay. You take the controls of the latest Stinger fighter as a test pilot, flying the test aircraft from Planet Bombay to Planet Beefeater.

Missions and flight

You move and shoot in 360 degrees. The aircraft accelerates with inertia, and you must clear all missions in order to complete the stage. Missions include destroying enemies and patrolling designated airspace.

Enemy tactics

Enemies behave in different ways: some charge straight at your aircraft, some keep their distance and fire guided missiles, and others take substantial damage to defeat. You need to find a suitable strategy for each type.

Arcade-style graphics

The graphics use nostalgic dot art reminiscent of 1980s arcade games, with distinctive dot-picture characters moving around the screen.
