Metal Storm

A shooter about a mech that reverses gravity so it can walk on the ceiling.

Irem · 1–2 hrs

Difficulty

A gravity-flip run-and-gun from Irem. The gimmick is the whole game: invert, shoot, invert again. Stages read like shooter corridors stood on their heads.

Tips

  • Start here

    Flip before the pit, not over it

    You snap to the new 'floor.' Don't invert mid-jump unless you meant to. The charge shot is for bosses; the rapid fire is for the walk.

  • Advanced

    Bullets keep their gravity

    A shot fired on the ceiling stays useful when you flip. Learn which turrets only cover one gravity. Death returns you with less weapon — play greedy on the pickup, stingy on the pit.
