NAME

titanion - strike down super high-velocity swooping insects

DESCRIPTION

Strike down super high-velocity swooping insects. Fixed shooter in the good old days, 'Titanion'.

Titanion is an abstract shooter game. While we fire with one button, the other one acts as a tractor ray to attract the enemies and take them to the combat line.

The game in itself is quite simple, but with such graphics and playability that it's a great experience to play.
