Flyout

Flyout is a vertically scrolling shoot `em up written for the Shmup-Dev Autofire 2007 competition, ending up at a tied 9th place out of 16. You control a ship flying up into an endless tunnel, trying to collect as many points as possible by shooting down enemies. As you fly on, enemies will attack in greater numbers. To keep up you should try to collect the ship upgrades provided by stranded Dutch pilots! These guys appear around every kilometer unless the maximum upgrade level of 5 has already been reached. The distance travelled can be seen in the bottom-left corner of the screen. The ship is controlled using the arrow keys and space bar (alternative fire buttons are Z and Ctrl), music can be toggled on/off using M. The tunes used in this game are free music loops from www.deusx.com. Good luck, pilot!
