Star Streak Is a New, Asteroids-Style Shmup Blasting Off on Atari Jaguar in 2027
'Prepare to make your Jaguar ROAR!'. A brand-new '80s-style shmup is headed to the Atari Jaguar. Star Streak is a 360-degree arcade blaster developed by Songbird Productions, the studio behind previous Jaguar games Old Towers and Wings of Death , as well as upcoming releases Shape Shooter 2000 and Zool Collection . As you can see from the trailer below, Star Streak puts players in the pilot seat of a plucky singular space vessel as it attempts to survive an onslaught of space rockery - or " Asteroids ", if you will - in rotary shooter action. Much like its clear inspiration, Star Streak's ship can jet off in any number of directions, with gravity and momentum playing a part in the ship's overall speed, acceleration, and inertia. The gameplay hook comes in the "streak" of the game's title, with players awarded higher scores and bonus multipliers for the rapid destruction of asteroids, alien ships, and other enemies that come sailing into view. Star Streak also features a variety of boss battles, along with a Time Attack mode - tasking players to rack up big numbers within a three-minute window. Read the full article on timeextension.com
