Arcade shooter with robot rescues across 16 vertically scrolling platforms
The briefing
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.
