Radical Games #96: HyperZone (SNES)

Not only has Hal Laboratories done the Kirby games, they've also done this decent shooter game that makes full use of the Mode 7 technology. While you shoot the enemies, you have to stay in the path as verging of it affects your health but some paths allow you to heal and there are these kind of them just before you encounter the boss. The first two stages are shown and Addict has provided footage of the game, considering that I found this game very tough to play.

Some interesting facts... at the start of the third stage you change ships as you progress where these enable you to charge up your shots and when the game is completed after all eight stages, you are sent back to the first stage with the same ship that you got in the final stage and with the score still intact, therefore the game itself is endless.

I haven't known HAL Labs to make a bad game.

...then again, I'm a massive Kirby fan. XD

@knuclear2010 wut r u talking about?

[DobieMeltfire]

Hal Laboratories? I wonder why there are no trophy mentioning this game in the SSB series?

@CrashManEXE You missed that part too?! ARGH! *Jumps out the window in embarrassment*

@SuperDominator45 it was only a matter of time before someone would stop reading before "But seriously"

I also own a copy of this game. Though I've always been pretty awful at Shoot-em-up's and this game is no exception to that. I'm lucky if I can even get past Stage 2. But despite that, I really do admire the graphics and it is a pretty enjoyable game.

@SuperDominator45 - You took the words out of my mouth. Saying a game is bad because it's too hard for you or can't beat it is ludicrous.
