A vertical-scrolling helicopter assault shooter that throws you straight into enemy territory. THE MISSION is a gritty, pixel-art arcade shooter rendered in a moody CRT-style monitor. Pilot a Tiger gunship through four war-torn zones — the outskirts, coastline, urban center, and airbase — gunning down turrets, tanks, troopers, warships, and massive bosses while racing the clock to reach the landing pad.
Note: This is a fan-made project and is not from the actual/original team behind the game.
Storyline Terrorist forces have occupied Canon. Command launches a single Tiger gunship — Unit-01 — on a one-way mission: total annihilation. You fly low and deadly across burning battlefields, shredding ground defenses and rescuing POWs trapped in enemy hands. Boss gunships and naval fleets block your path. Survive all four stages, bank your score, and earn your rank. Only the ultimate Killah makes it to the landing pad.
