About Alpha Guns
A run and gun platform shooter with a joystick drawn on the screen. Max moves, Max shoots, and a stage ends when the enemies in it are gone. Weapons change from a row of icons, so picking the right one for what is in front of you is part of the fight.
A cleared stage can be replayed for bonuses, which is the way the arsenal grows without pushing forward into something harder. It runs in landscape at 800 by 600 and plays on a phone as well as a desktop.
How to play
- Move Max with the joystick on the screen.
- Tap to fire at whatever is in range.
- Switch weapons from the icons when the fight changes.
- Clear the stage to move on, or replay it for the bonus.
Controls
| Drag the on-screen joystick | Move Max |
|---|---|
| Tap | Shoot |
| Tap a weapon icon | Change weapon |
Tips
- Keep moving while you fire. Standing still to aim is what gets Max hit.
- Replay an early stage when a fight stops going your way. The bonuses fund the upgrade you are missing.
