Tyrian is an arcade-style vertical scrolling shooter. The player controls a space ship fitted with different weapons and enhanced energy shields. Money is earned by destroying enemies and grabbing bonuses, which is then used to purchase upgrades such as weapons, shields, energy generators, and different ships from interlevel menus. The game is fast paced and presents a variety of enemies and bosses.
Changelog
1.5.0 - 14 February 2010
Massive core update finally completed. This core update includes many improvements, such as:
Joystick configurations now savable. No corruption has yet occurred through dozens of saving/loading cycles.
Game is much more stable. Random crashes seem nonexistent.
Sound distortions are at an all-time low. Pops/crackles hardly noticeable, if at all.
This core update also includes all previous improvements, such as the on-screen keyboard and menu exclusions/changes to avoid any possible problems resulting from settings incompatible with the Wii.
