Sky & Soil

Two weapons, two layers — zap what flies and bomb what crawls in this vertical scroller.

How to play

Fly up a vertically scrolling battlefield juggling two weapons: a forward shot for air enemies and a bomb that drops onto a lead reticle ahead to wreck ground targets. Bombing blank ground can even uncover a hidden relic tower for a bonus, and terrain you create can shelter you from enemy fire.

Origins

Sky and Soil draws on the vertical scroller of 1982 — fly over a scrolling landscape with two weapons at once, zapping aircraft and bombing ground targets with a lead reticle, uncovering hidden towers as you go. A hugely influential template for the genre.
