## Description
In _Warhounds_ , the player’s nation is in space war with the Suavians. Of
course this means a number of missions have to be carried out which involve
surviving vertically scrolling levels. The player’s ship can only take a few
hits before being destroyed, but thankfully it is equipped with a primary gun
with unlimited ammo and a limited secondary weapon. For both systems, there
are two choices before starting a new game: shield (protects the ship from
enemy attacks for a short time) or nuke (blast damage) for the secondary and
straight shot or expander for the primary weapon. The latter are initially
identical, but behave differently when weapon upgrades are collected from
killed enemies: while the straight shot becomes stronger, the expander adds
multiple simultaneous shots.
