Plus Alpha[a] is a 1989 multidirectional shooter video game developed and published by Jaleco for arcades. It was only released in Japan in May 1989.[1] The game is known for its low difficulty compared to other shoot 'em ups as well as its anime-like art style reminiscent of Konami's TwinBee series.[2] Hamster Corporation released the game as part of their Arcade Archives series for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in April 2020.[3][4]

Gameplay

The player controls Selia and Rumy as they journey in spaceships to rescue seven countries from tyranny. Three different spaceships with unique attributes are available.[2] To defeat enemies on the way, both characters can shoot them with two types of ammunition differing in size, damage and curvature, which can be changed by collecting power-ups and defeating enemies.[3][5] A boss enemy appears at the end of every level that must be defeated to progress.[2]
