Somer Assault

This side-scrolling action game features an unnamed pink Slinky object/creature as the protagonist which can fire bullets from its sides, jump, and slink along walls in its quest to stop an evil sorceress.

The story (existing in the export version only) is presented in a short prologue sequence at the game's start.

The Slinky has to battle through 12 stages of enemies, destroying each Zodiac boss along the way, in order to reach the Sorceress herself and put an end to her plot.

After she is downed, her body explodes and a battle commences against three enemies resembling the Slinky and called "The Mimickers".

Shooter purists might cringe at the premise, but more open-minded gamers who don't mind a bit of a learning curve will find a rewarding gaming experience.
