Super Ox Wars

A couple of weeks ago, Llamasoft released their latest game for iOS, Super Ox Wars.

It’s a vertical shooter inspired by Star Force that includes an Ikaruga-like polarity system. Depending on what pickups you obtain (and seemingly what you kill) your bullets will be blue stars or red hearts.

It’s frantic, fun, and gets challenging very quickly. Although it’s not difficult to obtain massive amounts of firepower, the same is so for the enemy, and after a few levels the game becomes a real bullet hell shooter.

It’s even more difficult than, say, a Cave shooter since Minter included no slowdown when the bullets start to take over the screen. I love it!

And I reckon you’ll love it too, especially if your a fan of 1980s arcade shooters. Or any other Llamasoft game for that matter!

I’m currently ranked 8th in the world in ‘Pure’ mode (and SFL is snapping at my heels). Can you beat me?

    Weird, last I saw I was actually ranked 8th in the world for ‘Pure’ mode.

    Hmm. /shrug..

    And so the ‘snapping at my heels’ became ‘left me in her dust’ 🙂

    I better up my game!
