Aerial combat across 2D helicopter and 3D jet-fighter missions
The briefing
Ajax is an aerial shooter in which the player defends Earth from enemy forces across a series of combat missions. The game alternates between 2D helicopter stages and 3D jet-fighter stages, with enemies attacking from the air and ground.
Players can collect power-ups such as three-way fire, lasers, triple missiles, rapid Vulcan bullets, upgradeable bombs, and an orbital drone. A limited super weapon can destroy every enemy on screen. The game also features surprise attacks, rotating and scaling visual effects, a soundtrack, and multiple stages leading toward the enemy base.
