Pleiads (Tehkan)

Pleiads is a vertically scrolling shoot 'em up where players control a small spaceship against a massive force of alien enemies. The main objective is to eliminate all enemies on the screen and reach the end of the stage to proceed to the next level. Along the way, players will collect power-ups such as more powerful weapons, speed boosts, and defensive shields. Each weapon type has its own characteristics, ranging from simple bullets to spread shots, allowing players to choose the appropriate tactics. The game features a variety of enemies, each with its own unique shape, speed, and attack pattern, requiring players to have quick reflexes and good dodging skills. Some stronger enemies will drop rare items when defeated. The stages are diversely designed, with various terrains, from empty space to planets and space stations. The difficulty of the game increases gradually through the stages, requiring players to constantly upgrade their weapons and improve their skills. The game ends when the player runs out of lives, or completes all the stages. Pleiads stands out with its simple yet sharp pixel art graphics, along with epic background music and vivid sound effects, creating an engaging and exciting gaming experience.
