## What is ANTI?

ANTI-ARES is a side-scrolling arcade shoot-'em-up, built by hand and sold on
plain terms: one purchase, no ads, no in-app purchases, no account, no internet.

Build your loadout before every run: one energy shot chosen from five, and
four shot slots, each set from fourteen shot types. Then fight through five
hand-built stages, each ending in a boss.

FEATURES
- Loadout selection: five energy shots and fourteen shot types to combine
- Four shot slots, each set independently before you launch
- Sub-shooters drop mid-stage and fight alongside you
- Five hand-built stages with destructible terrain and boss battles
- Three difficulty levels, plus a new-game-plus loop once you clear it
- Touch controls designed for the device: a floating stick and clear buttons

PLAYS THE WAY YOU EXPECT
- Buy once, play forever. No ads. No in-app purchases.
- No account, no sign-in, no internet connection required.
- Collects no data of any kind.

ABOUT
I first made ANTI-ARES in 2010 — the art, the music, the sound and the code,
all of it on my own. Sixteen years later, I rebuilt it to run on iPhone and iPad.

It is a straightforward arcade shooter, made because I wanted to play one.
I hope you enjoy it.
