Over The Hills

What would it be like if aliens abducted humans with a grappling hook? A unique shooter. I’m no expert on retro design but I tried my best to develop what I think is an old-school arcade-type retro shooter. The idea is that you control a hovercraft with no special abilities on the ground, but you can launch your special grappling hook and grab other ships flying overhead, launch into the air, and fire the weapons unique to that particular ship. There are 7 ships to take over, and 3 bosses to defeat. When in the air, the game cannot end. The game can only end if you are in the hovercraft state and you get hit by a land rocket. And the game will end on a 1-hit-kill as well. It’s quite tough!
