Impetus +

Impetus is a fast-paced, vertical-scrolling shoot 'em up homebrew game developed by Inufuto for the ColecoVision. Originally released in 2022, it was later updated and expanded as Impetus Plus. Heavily inspired by classic arcade titles like Xevious, the game challenges players to pilot a fighter craft over diverse landscapes while destroying enemy bases and aerial targets.
