I've played my fair share of 2D scrolling shooters back in the day when games like Xenon 2: Megablast took the genre by storm with its satisfying and addictive gameplay.
This nifty retro arcade SHMUP is a throwback to some of the best scrolling shooter games I know of, and it shows. Join me as we take a brief look at Jetboard Joust!

About the game:
An intense, arcade-style, 'bullet hell' SHMUP/STG in which you must master a vast array of ridiculous weaponry in order to defeat a race of evil aliens who are intent on abducting innocent civilians and turning them into mutants. Jetboard Joust blends the spirit and intensity of 1980s arcade coin-op SMHUPs with the replayability and tactical elements of hardcore modern roguelikes. Don't expect a story. Do expect frantic, fluid, fast-paced 60fps action, big guns, and explosions!
