Vertical Force is a vertical shoot-em-up scroller game, with two layers (to utilize the 3-D features of the system) for Nintendo's Virtual Boy video game system.
[edit] Gameplay
Just like in most vertical shoot-em-ups, you control a ship whose purpose is to shoot any enemy that enters the screen. Collecting powerups will change the weapon used. The main innovation in this game lies in its use for the Virtual Boy system where, by pressing a button, the ship can move into the foreground to avoid or shoot enemies or collect powerups that lie on the gound below. Some boss enemies can only be destroyed\avoided by cycling between the two fields occasionally.
