Destroy the enemy ship in The Competitor
For those that wonder what it is like to be the vast hordes of enemy ships attacking the player in any shmup, now is your chance to finally discover the feeling. The Competitor is a browser game that takes place from the perspective of the commanding officer of the enemy forces. It’s pretty simple, but fun and short. In other words, it’s a great coffee break game for the average shmup fan.
The Competitor is played much like Pixus. You draw lines on the screen, which then translate into ships. These ships can do things such as block enemy fir or fire at the enemy. The biggest disappointment is the lack of movement. You can make enemies rush at the player ship, and the player ship is sort of dumb. Still, it approached a genre with a fresh perspective that not many people might have seen all too well.
