I’ve been playing a little gem of a game lately – Hydorah. It’s a free horizontal shooter (a la gradius or r-type) and it is clearly inspired by a lot of good stuff from horizontal shooters from the eighties and nineties. This type of game is relatively rare nowadays, and Hydorah is *hard*. I find it very refreshing and a tad nostalgic having to really work to get anywhere.

The game has 16 levels and is very intense. The entire game is incredibly oldschool, but still done with somewhat modern technology – no skimming on the rotating/zooming bitmaps and such.

Highly recommended if you enjoy arcade games 😉
