Gamma Bros.

Gamma Bros. is an old school style shmup by pixeljam games. You'll require flash player innstalled and Its available as a free download for both Mac & PC here.

A 'shmup' is short for Shoot 'em up. The unique bit about this shmup is in the little details. Right from the 'Thunderbirds are GO!' style intro to the small animations when you change ships. The game has the right pace before things get pretty hectic and some amazing Bosses. Also your vehicle can shoot in 4 directions. Some times the frame rate stagger when there are a lot of ships & pyrotechnics on the screen.
