Our take on Alphaman
The defining structure is an eight-stage action platforming campaign in which defeating enemies adds new charged-shot abilities, including three-direction firing and an air dash.
What is Alphaman?
Alphaman is an action platformer set in a future where hackers called the Red Bombers have seized personal androids.
Alpha moves through stages by running, jumping, shooting, climbing, and dashing while fighting infected machines. Defeated enemies provide powers that change the charged secondary shot, including one that fires in three directions and another that enables an aerial dash. The campaign contains seven full stages followed by a final boss stage. An operator provides mission information during the campaign. Keyboard and controller inputs are supported through arrow keys or a D-pad, with no joystick support listed. Controls can be remapped in-game, including movement, jumping, shooting, weapon switching, climbing, and dashing.
