Unheat

A shmup where you charge your melee attack by shooting

Hold the attack button to charge your weapon, then release it for a powerful melee discharge.
The more it's charged, the stronger, wider and shorter-lasting the melee attack is,
and higher the score multiplier (bosses are unaffected score wise).

But be careful not to bring it too far,or  you may explode !

There's no contact damage
Life extends every 1000 points
Every extra life at the end is worth 100 points , yet that may not be the best use for them.

Controller reccomended
Seizure warning , of course

Holding C or (X) -on controllers- for a few seconds will activate unlimited(ish) lives
