Legendary Wings

Screenshots1 / 2

A vertical-scrolling shooter displays two golden winged warrior sprites positioned on the left and right sides of the screen against a blue waterway bordered by orange terrain. A small cross-shaped player aircraft flies down the center channel between the enemies. Multiple golden horned enemy heads float across the upper and middle sections of the screen, with round golden orbs scattered throughout. The 8-bit pixel art uses a limited color palette of blue, orange, gold, and yellow against a solid background.
