Aliens (Christoph Röschter)

Christoph Röschter's Aliens is a horizontally-scrolling shooter. The player takes control over a soldier with a jetpack who faces a lot of alien opposition. The soldier is moved over the screen with the mouse (without animations) and shoots enemies with a machine gun. Unfortunately ammo is limited and when it runs out, the soldier is completely defenseless. Additionally your sprite is fairly large, which makes it difficult to avoid all of the incoming fire and hazards.
