An indie shoot-em-up that is all about minimalistic but challenging retro arcade gameplay.

Published (or updated) in October 18th, 2018.

Wings of Virtus is a retro-styled vertical scrolling shoot ’em up game developed Ragiva Games where you will pilot your space fighter to shoot alien ships, while using phase barriers to your advantage!

This game has a simple color scheme that we believe was made in order to resemble the classic Game Boy screen. Of course it’s inspired on this console. It also features two difficulty levels and good controls.
