Karous

In this unique vertically-scrolling shooter you take the role of a mysterious
girl named Karous, who commands a tiny fighter ship and attempts to destroy an
evil armada bent on world domination.

The game plays as your average vertical-scrolling shooter, in which you must
clear several stages by destroying all incoming enemies and surviving their
onslaught. A unique addition to Karous, is that you don’t collect weapons by
power-ups, but instead upgrade each of your basic weapons (gun, sword and
shield) depending on their use thanks to a basic experience module, with
increased power and features at later levels (multiple shots, bullet
reflection, etc.)

The game uses cel-shaded polygonal graphics with a distinct black and white
look.
