The Loop by minibobbo
UPDATE - I added the S key as a secondary shield key for Firefox users since the spacebar sends them to the bottom of the screen. The rest of the game is exactly the same.
Aim and Fire with the mouse.
Hold the mouse button down for continuous fire. Or wait for your weapon to charge.
Hold the S KEY or SPACE to bring up a shield and block the enemy bullets.
A loving homage to the SNES Super Scope game Battle Clash, Time Crisis, and Pacific Rim.
Humanity thought that giving AI control of automated factories would bring in a lifetime of peace and plenty. Unfortunately the AI rebelled and produced giant battle robots. Humanity created THE LOOP, a giant wall circling the factory. The robots will break through eventually, so you are the last remaining Battle Mech patrolling THE LOOP destroying what you find.
