About the Game

make Your Way to victory




River Attack is a shootting up style game 2D that combines harmoniously colored scenes with aerial shooting battles! Evolve your ship to defeat an alien invasion that has the technology to control human combat vehicles.

Control a jet in top down view, shoot and destroy enemy ships by deflecting as many enemy shots as you can.

In 2020 an alien invasion ravages the planet Earth and no weapon is effective against the space ships, as they have the technology to control human combat vehicles. Oliver, an aeronautical engineer, manages to adapt a ship so that it is not controlled by the aliens and is humanity's only hope. He seeks to rescue his girlfriend Marjorie, who is a pilot and was abducted in combat. Will you be able to help Oliver rescue his girl and save the planet?
