Suns of Abell is a unique scrolling shooter-style game that's been familiar since the days of push-button phones. Enemies and environments are randomly generated in the game—with the exception of bosses—and will always have a certain difficulty level, which increases as you progress. By defeating opponents, you earn points that you can spend on upgrading your ship's weapons or special items that aid you in battle. To complete the game, you'll need to develop your own playstyle, but if you get bored playing alone, you can complete levels with your friends.
