Classic Maelstrom vs BlazeWing

Maelstrom is a licensed open source port of the original shareware game for the Macintosh by Ambrosia Software, Inc. It is a fast-action, asteroids-like game, with classic pixel graphics and original sounds. In addition to being a faithful reproduction of the original game, this version adds game controller support, mobile touch controls, and both cooperative and competitive multiplayer action. Features: Kid Mode Clicking the "kid mode" icon next to the play button will enable an easier play mode which will add the retro-thruster prize and automatically shield you as long as shields are available - but beware the Shenobi ships! Their shots will not trigger the automatic defensive systems. Achievements and high scores are not available while in this mode. Multiplayer You can host or join a multiplayer game from the main menu. Up to three players can play at once, and they can be any combination of other players on the local network, and connected controllers. Easter Eggs The classic easter eggs from the original game are all there, and it's up to you to find them...

BLAZEWING — CLASSIC ARCADE SPACE SHOOTER Take control of the BlazeWing and dive into a vertical shoot'em up in the finest arcade tradition. Ten worlds, ten colossal bosses, storms of bullets, and reflexes pushed to the limit — all in the palm of your hand, with no ads interrupting the action. 10 WORLDS, 10 MOODS From the Stellar Shore to the heart of a black hole, cross the Belt of Fire, a shadow nebula, an orbital graveyard, and the Omega Core — then push on through the Ice Fields, the Ion Storm, the Alien Hive, the War Fortress, and the Dark Star. Every stage has its own soundtrack, enemies, and atmosphere — including planets and moons drifting across the background. LAYERED BOSSES Take on ten mid-bosses and ten end bosses with multi-layer health bars that grow more aggressive with every break — from the Sentinel to the Void Sovereign, whose gravity field drags your ship toward the abyss. Memorize the patterns, weave through the bullets, and find the opening for the final blow. ARSENAL & POWER-UPS Power up your firepower, earn wing "options," and switch between three special weapons: spread shot, piercing laser, and homing missiles. Save your bomb to clear the screen when things get tight. REAL ENEMIES Over twenty enemy types: zig-zagging fighters, kamikazes, long-range snipers, mines, shielders, the segmented snake that splits when hit, ice comets, tesla coils, hive drones, war turrets, and void orbs. DIFFICULTY FOR EVERYONE Choose Easy, Normal, or Hard. The game also reacts to your performance: the stronger your ship gets, the faster and denser enemy fire becomes — the challenge always stays just right. LEADERBOARDS & ACHIEVEMENTS (GAME CENTER) Chase the top score on leaderboards split by difficulty and unlock 22 achievements — from your first downed boss to the whole campaign on Hard. Entirely optional: skip the sign-in and the full game still runs offline. BUILT FOR IPHONE Precise touch controls: drag to move and shoot, two fingers to drop a bomb. Haptic feedback on impacts, subtle gyroscope parallax, silky 120 Hz on ProMotion iPhones, and crisp vector graphics on any screen. Available in six languages: Portuguese, English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Spanish. Settings also holds optional accessibility: colorblind mode and reduce motion, both off by default — leave them off and the game plays exactly as it always has. CONTROLLER & TV MODE Prefer a gamepad? Connect one over Bluetooth or cable (Xbox, PlayStation, MFi and more): stick to move, A to fire, B to bomb, and FOCUS MODE (L2/R2) to slow down and weave between bullets. You can also play on the TV: link your iPhone with a USB-C cable or AirPlay and the run opens on the big screen in arcade mode, with live score panels on both sides — your iPhone becomes the console. Touch controls stay exactly as they've always been.
