Katakis

Katakis is a side-scrolling shoot'em-up in which a single spacecraft battles the machine intelligences of the planet Katakis across six levels. The game draws heavily on R-Type, from its ship and enemy designs to its level concepts, weapons, and defensive systems.

Weapons and Power-Ups

• A standard forward-firing weapon.
• A three-directional scattershot that can be upgraded from two to eight projectiles.
• A reflective laser that bounces off floors and ceilings.
• An autoseeker.
• A chargeable power shot activated by holding the fire button.

The ship can also use up to two protection satellites positioned above and below it. The indestructible R-Ball can dock at the front of the ship, functioning as both a weapon and a shield.

Modes

Two-player play is available with players taking turns.
