Bay Route

Bay Route is a side-scrolling run-and-gun shooter set in the distant future. Players control a soldier fighting terrorists as the screen scrolls from left to right.

The game combines shooting with platform-style movement across multiple levels of the screen. Players can fire in several directions, collect icons dropped by certain defeated terrorists to improve their firepower, and face bikes, planes, flying armored ships, and multi-bullet guns.

Each stage ends at a heavily defended base. To advance, players must destroy all of its guns. Being hit by an enemy, vehicle, or bullet costs one of three lives, and two players can play simultaneously.
