Last Strike - Attack of the Drones

Welcome to Last Strike, a retro-style 2d side scrolling space-shooter.

You gain credits by shooting down enemies and can buy upgrades after each stage.

Features:

- 6 Missions with 3 Stages each

- 6 Bosses

- Multiple upgrades for main weapon

- 3 upgradable secondary weapons

- Infinite Lives (no frustrating forced startover)

- Upgrades are not lost after dying (promised)

This game combines the flair of old-school 2d space-shooters with the progression of modern games. Weapon- and ship upgrades are bought rather than collected and will never be lost.

Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks a lot for playing!

Save the Earth from the evil Drone Empire!
