Green Wind is a shmup by x.x, developer of Blue Wish and Eden's Edge. Measuring only 256 pixels high and 200 pixels wide, it's amazing that such a small screen still manages to convey all the action expected from a fast-paced shooter.

The left shift and control keys are assigned as the primary and secondary shot buttons. The spread shot is particularly useful to cover a wide area with bullets, although concentrated fire is much more effective for tougher enemies and end level bosses. Holding down the left shift key will cause your character to move slower as well.

Press the Z key to activate a special attack, but it requires a recharge after each use as indicated by a gauge at the bottom left of the screen.
