Warning Forever

Windows - 2003

Another superb freeware shooter from Japan, Warning Forever is similar to BulletML games like rRootage - addictive games that are turning "abstract shooters" into a new and exciting genre.

Warning Forever packs enough innovation to set itself apart from other BulletML, however. To begin with, you don't battle countless hordes of alien ships in this game: only the "boss" ships, one by one. These boss ships are drawn in 'abstract' funky style, and are automatically generated (using an algorithm not dissimilar to how swarms of enemies are generated in rRootage). There is no defined number of ships in the game. Instead, you have 120-second timer from which 20 seconds are deducted every time you die. You gain seconds after defeating each boss. Naturally, each new boss is more difficult to beat than the last, with a lot more firepower and stamina. Similar to the likes of rRootage, Warning Forever is a refreshing and innovative shooter that is very addictive - albeit very difficult. If you like shooting games, this is another underdog you shouldn't pass up. Also, in contrast to most Japanese shooters, the game even comes with English help file... not that you need to understand Japanese to grasp the controls. Two thumbs up, way up!

Game is no longer showing UI elements, I can't see my ship nor the enemy ship. I suspect it might be broken on recent versions of Windows 11

Remember playing this back in the day, i couldn't remember the name.
Finally found it. It's worth playing for sure if you like the genre. It's 100% arcadey, it's literally a boss rush with scoreboards, that's it.
It should run on a potato, so no reason to not play it

Interesting Shoot em up. You're a small ship up against bigger ships, each one you destroy a stronger version of it appears. The big draw of the game is destruction to the other ship you can do, you can take down it's own rocket parts it shoots at you. It has an arcadey like feel to it, I think it's worth a play.
