Arora Rift is a fast paced sci-fi shoot em' up with classic arcade
look and feel, made exclusively for the Caanoo handheld.
You take control of the Arora, a high-tech and deadly
space fighter, and fight off the swarms of enemy
drones and fighters coming at you.
Play through various stages set in outer space and unexplored
alien planets, and navigate your ship through hazardous areas
filled with deadly obstacles. Pick up bonuses such as forcefield
and high power weapons. Battle the endless waves of enemy ships
and 4 different bosses as you fight your way through the galaxy
all the way to the enemy’s base.
All the graphics are rendered in 8-bit color depth, with pre-rendered sprites and detailed animations.
All environments are scrolled using a technique called "Mode 7", know from many old games
on the SNES™ system.
The Arora is flying against the swarms of ships automatically.
Control your ship by going up, down and side to side to avoid
the incoming ships and enemy fire. Use your plasma blaster to
shoot down the enemy and be ready to pick up any bonus boxes
coming up along the way, such as health and forcefield.
The enemy ships are always coming at you randomly
- no game round is the same! Gain score by avoiding the enemy,
gain more by shooting them. Use the plasma and energy shots
pickups to hit a large group of enemies in one shot to gain
combo bonus points. If you manage to survive long enough,
you will advance to the next stage.
