Wibarm

Wibarm is an action game with RPG elements, and several gameplay modes. The
player controls a robot who can also transform into a tank or a flying
spacecraft; each form has its own strengths and weaknesses. Similarly to
Thexder, the player guides the transformable robot through side-scrolling
levels, shooting at enemies and trying to stay alive. However, when the robot
enters a building, the game transforms into one of the earlier examples of a
3D, third-person perspective shooter. The levels culminate in boss battles,
which take place on separate top-down areas.

The player is given a considerable freedom as to which locations to visit
first. Collecting power units increases the robot’s power. If a particular
boss encounter proves to be too difficult, the player can explore other areas,
level up, and return to the boss stronger than before, giving the game an RPG
angle.
