About this game

1944: The Loop Master is the fifth original entry in Capcom’s 194X series of top-down vertical shoot’em ups. Players can choose between the P-38 Lightning and Mitsubishi A6M Zero and battle through 15 stages.

The game features a charge system: holding the fire button fills a charge bar, and a full charge sends the plane upward while granting temporary invincibility. Players begin with one life, while the plane’s health bar decreases with each hit. Rare health items can restore lost health.
