Wyzle

Wyzle was distributed via the Atari Program Exchange.

The game mixes various aspects of side-scrolling shooters (mostly Defender and Scramble); you pilot a spacecraft, which you have to control with the joystick for direction (although there is gravity to fight that will pull the ship down). You can shoot to either side or drop a bomb based on the direction you're pushing the stick when you press fire. Shots from side to side go in a straight line; bombs inherit the movement of your ship, so they can be "thrown" by building a high sideways speed then pushing down to drop them.
