SAAW (Swinging Anti-Alien Weapon) is a two-button arcade minigame. 

Move left and right to swing your giant saw and defeat the aliens! ...who where probably just minding their own business before humans decided to colonize their planet to exploit their natural resources, oh God... yeah don't look to far into it.

Controls:

  • A & D for Player 1, 
  • Left & Right for Player 2.
  • R restarts the game in single player mode, be warned!


SAAW is Game II in a series of short minigames I'll be releasing throughout the year. Each game will pay homage to a different era in video game history. SAAW, believe it or not, was inspired by the Ultimate Play the Game series of arcade titles for the ZX Spectrum, and the title was clearly inspired by DOOM. 

SAAW unfortunately has no sound, I was planning on just adding sound effects but I didn't want it sounding empty, so it's better to have no sound at all, I guess. If a few people are interested I might throw in some sounds & music later on.

Game II - [early 1980s]
