NAME
mu-cade - chase action game
DESCRIPTION
The Physics Centipede Invasion Smashup waggly shmup, ’Mu-cade’
Mu-cade is another shoot-em-up game by Kenta Cho. In this game Kenta
has introduced physics into his formula of hardcore shooting games.
Similar in some ways to Asteroids and Nibbles, the playing area is a
rectangular arena in which vessel-snakes have only one idea at the
head: expelling the others into the vacuum. You incarnate one of them,
and you’ll quickly realize the subtlety of the goal: your tail
lengthens as you destroy your enemies.
