An incredibly well made sh'mup with RPG mechanics, but I wish there was a mouse control option. This game requires far too precise of movement to limit the player to keys. My hands were hurting before completing level 1

Classic, challenging side-scrolling shooter with a deep upgrade and customization system of many ships, weapons, and gadgets. Equip up to 3 weapons, adjusting each's angle and position individually, as well as up to 4 gadgets to best suit your strategy.
Play through 6 main levels, discovering 6 secret levels on your way, and fight 7 complex bosses that will challenge your skills!
NOTE: Parasite Strike is memory-intensive and may run slowly on old computers.
CONTROLS:
Default: Arrow Keys move, C shoots, X drops bombs.
Controls can be changed to WASD + K and L in-game.
P - Pause (during a mission)
M - Mute (also available from options in-game)
Tutorial in-game.
great game could have been better if it was easier
Everything was good bosses were challenging
Really nice game!I loved everything.The only thing is that there are bosses in almost every round at first.Really good game though.And i found a typo on the Technical Fighter with "upgraded" being
"updgraded".I hope you do more work like this!

Just rediscovered this game. There's a surprising amount of hidden content in the game, and at first I spend SO much time customizing weapons in the hangar instead of playing, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I really like how the weapons can be mounted at ANY angle I want, allowing me to be a deadly turret of destruction or leave some homing missiles on when I'm not fighting bosses just so I'm sure I kill everything. Feels good and reminds me heavily what UN Squadron felt like back in the day. Also, I now have the music to play in my car.
