NAME

       titanion - strike down super high-velocity swooping insects

DESCRIPTION

       Strike  down  super  high-velocity  swooping insects.  Fixed shooter in the good old days,
       'Titanion'.

       Titanion is an abstract shooter game. While we fire with one button, the other one acts as

       The  game  in  itself  is quite simple, but with such graphics and playability that it's a
       great experience to play.

       key. Push a shot button to start a game.

       CLASSIC mode
               - Sporadic firing.
               - Use a capture beam to make a friend of an enemy.

                You can capture enemies with the capture beam.
                To fire the capture beam, a capture beam energy (displayed in the left panel)
                should be full. The capture beam energy increased when you destroy an enemy.
                Captured enemies are lined up beside the player and

                Your ship is invincible when you are firing the capture beam.

               + BASIC mode - Capture beam
                You can use the capture beam anytime, but your ship isn't invincible
                while firing.

               + MODERN mode - Provocation beam

                The provocation beam forces an enemy to fire more bullets and
                you can earn more bullet multiplier bonus.
