NAME

       excellent-bifurcation - an abstract two-sided vertical shooter

SYNOPSIS

       excellent-bifurcation

DESCRIPTION

       The  aliens have attacked, and their ability to exist in either or both of their world and
       ours has given them an almost unsurpassable advantage.

       Take command of a special fighter craft capable of existing in both realities at once  and
       drive them back!

       The  form  your fighter takes on the left has double fast-firing cannons and can charge to
       release up to eight seekers. It is ideal  for  destroying  small  and  weak  but  numerous
       enemies.  The right-hand form has a single powerful cannon which fires slowly but does far
       more damage, and is more suited to taking out larger enemies.  It can charge up to release
       a  wave  which  passes  through things, damaging them as it goes (unlike the beam weapons,
       which only hit anything once no matter how thick it is). You can switch them  between  the
       worlds depending on what kind of firepower you need where.
