Shooting Leaves 3
Read full descriptionHide full description
This is all directions scrolling retro 2D shooting game. Please look for an exit on a map while attacking ENEMY PLANEs. There isn't scores but the time to the exit is measured. (Frames are counted.) Let's reduce the time using POWER UP ITEMs in a map. The operation is simple: Touch = Beam is discharged. Dragging = MY PLANE is rotated and moved. To operate easily by smart phone, the map is rotated as well as MY PLANE. Each ENEMY PLANE has the front surface and the rear surface. When showing the rear surface, it is not destroied. On the all directions scrolling map, there are ITEMs and gimmicks. Please complete all areas by dealing with them well. (16 AREAs, 4 AREAs are free.)

Survive for as long as possible through endless waves in this casual and easy to learn but hard to master action game. Avoid the red circles and pop as many green ones as you can to increase your score. Colliding with a red circle means it's game over, so make sure to get rid of them by popping the blue, orange and purple ones. How many points can you get? Can you beat your friends? Game features: • Fast-paced, fun and addictive gameplay • Intuitive and customizable one-handed controls • No ads or other annoyances
