DroneSwarm

DroneSwarm was created as an entry for the shmup-dev forum competition 2k7 round 2. The theme for the contest was “options”.
Options has a special meaning in shoot-em-ups. It means small helper craft that assist the player, often providing a weapon power-up or some kind of defence. The name comes from Gradius, one of the first games to use such “options”.

The contest is now over and judging has begun! Check out the other entries here.
