On Sniper Ships you will face enemies' waves by moving your ship using the keyboard (ASDW) and aiming your sniper with the mouse (or two analogs if you use a game controller). Your sniper is way stronger than your common ship bullets and also destroys most enemy's bullets, but can you move, aim and shoot fast enough?!
You will face 3 differents waves and bosses.Be prepared for the many attack patterns and for the bullet hell.
It'll be hard to finish the game, but it'll be even harder to see your friends with a better score than you, so fight for the highscore and throw it in your friends faces.Keep in mind that you can boost your score if you finish the waves in less time, kill all enemies and avoid being shot.

Really cool shooter game, flashy LSD visuals, two shooting patterns, one frontal and one mouse driven, very hard, but very satisfying to play. Climb the leaderboards, fight harder and harder challenges. The Shooting Ships bundle is really filled with little delightful gems!5 found this helpful
Sniper Ships: Shoot'em Up on Rails, developed and published by Sensen Games, is a tightly scoped arcade shooter that leans heavily into precision and reflex-based gameplay while experimenting with a slightly unconventional twist on the classic shoot’em up formula. Instead of giving players full freedom of movement and a constant stream of firepower, the game introduces a more deliberate structure where positioning and accuracy carry equal weight. It’s an experience that feels rooted in old-school design principles, but with just enough mechanical variation to set it apart from more traditional entries in the genre. The defining feature of the game is its dual-layer control system, where players must manage both movement and aiming independently. Navigating the ship through incoming waves of enemies and dense bullet patterns requires constant attention, but success is equally dependent on how well you can line up precise shots. The sniper mechanic, which serves as the game’s central hook, adds a layer of tactical decision-making. Rather than simply holding down a fire button, players are encouraged to carefully aim and time their attacks, using powerful shots to eliminate threats e…
Played with a Blamcon light gun: 7/10 Very unique game, it's a top down scrolling shooter where your ship does a lot of the shooting except your light gun acts as a 'super weapon' when you shoot enemies.
I want these colors, effects and sound design to be injected directly into my bloodstream while clicking rapidly than I've ever clicked before in my entire life.
Fantastic game.
Click-to-shoot is an outdated mechanic in Shmup's. Just put the mouse-pointer attack on auto-fire like the vertical gun.
