Captain Rogers

Captain Rogers is a retro shoot-'em-up by Enclave Games that pays homage to the Captain Video segment that shipped on Taito's Space Invaders Part II. You fly the eponymous saucer over a scrolling city skyline, weaving between descending invaders.

The distinctive mechanic is the dual-beam attack: a narrow deflector beam that absorbs incoming fire and a wide proton beam that sweeps a large arc. A tight deflector deflects but kills slowly, so you constantly trade safety against clearing speed. Levels alternate between two city backdrops as the pace rises.

How to Play

1. Fly with the arrow keys or WASD.
2. Hold the primary button for the deflector beam; the wide beam fires with the secondary button.
3. Absorb shots with the deflector, then sweep the proton beam to finish groups.
4. Clear the wave before it reaches the ground.

Controls

• Arrow keys or WASD - move
• Z / J - deflector beam
• X / K - proton beam
• P - pause

Tips

The deflector is a bubble, not a wall - hold it while a dense volley is incoming, then release into the proton beam. If you try to kill everything with the deflector you will never finish a level on time.
