The briefing

About this game

Goldrunner II is an arcade shooter set 50 years after the events of its predecessor. Humanity now relies on robot pilots for defense, but space pirates have captured them and plan to turn them against their creators.

As the grandchild of the original Goldrunner, the player flies through 16 vertically scrolling platforms, shooting transporters and collecting the robots they carry. Up to five robots can be transported at once to a teleporter station, where they are unloaded before the rescue continues.

Gameplay Features

  • Rescue or destroy captured robots.
  • Battle recovery ships, enemy fighters, and mines that appear after transporters are destroyed.
  • Navigate dust clouds that block the ship's shots.
  • Use smart bombs to destroy all enemies on screen.
