Three Wonders

Screenshots1 / 2

A vertical-scrolling arcade shooter depicts a blue sky level with rocky terrain at bottom and top edges. Multiple enemy aircraft in tan and brown colors fly across the screen in formation and scattered patterns. Golden projectiles from player weapons trail across the playing field. The HUD shows a yellow score counter at top-left reading 0-0008900, a health or power bar at top-center, and an additional score display at top-right. The sprite-based graphics use a 16-bit color palette with parallax cloud layering in the background.
