Astraea - Mechajet Symphony

A strangely symphonic video of a shmup, called Astrae, found at http://r-revery.hp.infoseek.co.jp/hsp/ast.html

Music is Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 theme.

So this game is a fast paced little shooter, where you can be a mech with a sword and transform into a ship... With guns. Mech form is more powerful, but has limited range. Sword range and power does increase with charging it up, the sword can cut through any bullet. Ship form has a good wide range guns, good for shooting up stuff quickly. The downside, you can't block shots like in mech form unless you charge up. However, a fully charged shot blasts the entire screen. The key to being successful in this game is to know when to use which form (yes, I sound crappy saying that, but it really worked for me). Mech is good for armies of goons scattered all over, since its sword slashes and destroys bullets in the front half of its radius. Ship is good for far away enemies, or charging up its weapon can blow up groups of enemies and bullets in straight lines.
Mech: Defensive
Ship: Offensive.
Controls are arrow keys and numpad, now I'll freaking shut up so you can play. RETRIBUTE. RETRIBUTE!
