Attempts at a scrolling shooter within Game-Maker's engine are many and tortured. No one ever really succeeded; the closest anyone got was by taking out the shooting and focusing on fast-paced dodging.
Although Cosmo War is no exception, it is notable for its particular techniques. Namely, large enemy ships are designed as background elements. As background elements, they can fire projectiles at the player’s ship. Of course, as background elements they are immune to the player’s atacks. Oh well. Might as well try everything.
Apparently the game is inspired by Epic Megagames’ Zone 66, and it has some connection to Blork Carnage. It’s worth a look, certainly. Compared to other GM space shooters, which try to ape Japanese designs, Cosmo War feels more like an homage to the Bitmap Brothers. As with most of PPP Team’s work, its tone is distinctly, if ineffably, European.
