Duck and Cover

One of the drawbacks to shoot ‘em up games in the past has always been the opponents ability to shoot you. In older games the baddies either shot at you in a predictable pattern, or with extremely slow moving and easily avoidable ammunition. The side scroller, Ownage Burst, is slightly different. It’s a flash game that looks like an older side-scroller from the Super Nintendo days, but the villains are much better shots. They will occasionally miss, but it’s almost impossible to avoid their shots. The only ways to avoid being riddled with lead is to shoot them before they aim and shoot at you or to duck behind the cars on the side of the street.

I had fun with it. Hopefully more levels are available soon.
