Star Ranger

Star Ranger is a comparatively slow-paced side-scrolling Shoot’em Up. The
player’s ship can shoot in two directions, but the shooting frequency is
rather low. Unlike in most other Shoot’em Ups, enemies do not simply fly
through the screen and can be either destroyed or dodged. Instead, they stay
onscreen, trying to destroy the player’s ship until they are defeated. There
are numerous different enemy types, each following a unique attacking-pattern.
Some enemies try to close in, while others always shoot from a distance. There
are also bombers, who fill the screen with indestructible bombs, as well as
ships that can become temporarily invisible. To further increase the
challenge, there are also passages in which asteroids have to be dodged or the
ship has to be maneuvered through narrow passages.
