About

Kobo Deluxe is a retro styled top-down arena shooter with a simple and responsive control system - which you'll need to tackle the tons of enemy ships that shoot at you, chase you, circle around you shooting, or even launch other ships at you, while you're trying to destroy the labyrinth shaped bases. There are 50 action packed levels with smoothly increasing difficulty, and different combinations of enemies that require different tactics to be dealt with successfully. Kobo Deluxe features OpenGL acceleration (optional), an intuitive menu driven user interface and joystick support.
