NAME

       excellent-bifurcation - an abstract two-sided vertical shooter

SYNOPSIS

       excellent-bifurcation

DESCRIPTION

       The  aliens have attacked, and their ability to exist in either or both
       of their  world  and  ours  has  given  them  an  almost  unsurpassable
       advantage.

       Take  command  of  a  special fighter craft capable of existing in both
       realities at once and drive them back!

       The form your fighter takes on the left has double fast-firing  cannons
       and  can  charge  to  release  up  to  eight  seekers.  It is ideal for
       destroying small and weak but numerous enemies. The right-hand form has
       a  single  powerful cannon which fires slowly but does far more damage,
       and is more suited to taking out larger enemies.  It can charge  up  to
       release  a  wave  which passes through things, damaging them as it goes
       (unlike the beam weapons, which only hit anything once  no  matter  how
       thick  it is). You can switch them between the worlds depending on what
       kind of firepower you need where.
