Love space shooters of all types. (Probably due to all those Gemini and Apollo missions from my childhood and youthful days). :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6096#post-63385 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 16:19:07 +0000 reverseOrder 63385@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>G-Type is a fantastic Japanese spaceship shooter that combines elements from Gradius and R-Type. You have the powerup system from Gradius and the indestructible force pod from R-Type. The Gradius style powerup system uses a list of powerups that shows the currently selected powerup. Collecting a powerup item advances the selected powerup to the next item. Pressing the X or Shift key allows you to buy a powerup. You can also buy powerups for the force pod which is nice because it cannot be destroyed so any powerups you buy are permanent.</p> <p>There are 5 levels and two difficulty settings, easy and normal. The levels and enemies are based on both games. Normal mode is when the game starts going crazy. You do not begin with the force pod powerup, enemies shoot more frequenty, and some of the levels and bosses are completely different. So I recommend starting on easy then playing normal after. When you beat easy it allows you to start with up to 16 extra lives (default max of 9). If you beat normal you also unlock hard mode which is even more insane. This game is really amazing, I highly recommend it.</p> <p>Controls:<br /> Note: Press Ctrl or Z to start the game.<br /> Arrow keys - move<br /> Z, Ctrl - fire, hold to charge weapon<br /> X, Shift - Activate powerup<br /> C - Detach/attract/attach force pod<br /> V - hold for rapid fire<br /> Space - Pause<br /> F2 - Reset<br /> Esc - Quit</p> <p>Videos:<br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1Z3IFqXRJA">G-Type Level 1 &#38; 2 Easy</a><br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcdp1gN5-3Y">G-Type Level 1 Hard</a><br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea8B80sCx0g">G-Type : The Hole of Inferno</a> (Secret Level)<br /> Note: the video is wrong, The Hole of Inferno is unlocked after beating normal mode.</p> <p>Downloads (5.77 MB):</p> <p><a href="http://www.acid-play.com/download/g-type/" rel="nofollow">http://www.acid-play.com/download/g-type/</a></p> <p>or</p> <p><a href="http://www.pcgaming.ws/viewgame.php?game=g_type" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgaming.ws/viewgame.php?game=g_type</a> </p>
