DIANTHUS
Dianthus is a freeware doujin shooting game made by Retro Inspired Game Studio (RIGS) based upon several retro titles such as Galaxian and Galaga. The basic premise is relatively simple, swarm and swarm of alien enemies attack the player’s ship that moved left and right at the bottom of the screen. When the players succesfully destroyed the current wave, then another more challenging and aggressive wave in the next screen.
While the original game was quite repetitive, Dianthus offers small upgrades that make each new game experience fresh and never boring. There are two game modes: simple and advanced. In simple mode the game plays similar to the classic ones with slower enemy bullets and player can move their ship to left and right only. Advanced mode is a hard mode, with faster bullets, more aggressive enemies and new aliens. In advanced mode the player can move their ship back and forth within certain limits. The game has no continues and the player has only one ship with health bar. When the health bar has reached zero, then the game is over. Fortunately, there are several bonuses such as score capsule, health capsule and power capsule for rapid attack. Dianthus is a score attack shooting game. Therefore the player only have to survive, grab power-ups and achieve the highest possible scores.
