Our take on I.F.O

Its defining detail is the LCD-style shoot'em up format, built around a classic aircraft controlled through rotation buttons and a combined-button dash.

What is I.F.O?

I.

F. O is an LCD-style shoot'em up where a classic aircraft fights UFOs and rescues animals kidnapped by aliens. The aircraft rotates with left and right buttons, while pressing both buttons together activates a dash. Kidnapping an alien powers up the aircraft through a mysterious alien power. During animal rescues, weapons can change and life can recover. The type of animal determines whether a heart piece is earned; heart pieces increase maximum life. On Tablet PCs, the game supports direct presses on the buttons shown on screen. The game presents the player as the world's last hero, defending Earth from the alien attack.
