Raider and Repeler is a rather creative take on the shooter genre in which the player doesn't actually do any shooting. Instead, you must intercept the enemies fire and send it back at them. However, unlike other versions of this concept I have seen, you have to intercept ALL of the enemy fire. Any bullets or enemy ships that manage to escape off of the screen will cause your ship damage.

The visuals may not astound, but the game is simply a blast once you get the hang of it. Highly recommended.

(Note, the author's last name might not actually be Shirotama, that's my best guess as to the reading of his last name.)

nothing piques my interest for a game more than an menu screenshot

Well, that's too bad, as now you have to live with a boring in-game screenshot. Hah!
