Star Sword - 3D Scrolling Space Shooter Game

"Star Sword" is a beautifully crafted 3D scrolling space shooter game with a great sense of operation. Below are some screenshots provided by the official site; I took a few, but they're pretty underwhelming:

The game view is tilted at 30 degrees (my personal feeling) for the scrolling effect, which feels pretty good. You can play using a mouse, keyboard, or controller. The intro is really well done.

The game's story involves piloting a spaceship through 5 massive galaxies (a total of 50 game levels), defeating aliens, and searching for the legendary weapon. Hmm...

Each level is quite short. After completing a level, you can purchase upgrades for your weapons, which include Laser, Rocket, and Droid. The concept of Droid is fairly creative. I bought one; the "Repair Droid" is probably for fixing the spaceship. There are also weapon-type Droids that closely follow behind the spaceship.

Special Note: After closing the game, it automatically opens the official website, which is extremely annoying...
