Twin Shot is a single or 2-player platformer by Nitrome in which strange cat-like angels jump and fly around simple arenas destroying all the enemies with use of a bow and arrow.

There are coins and powerups to grab and players can move off any side of the screen to reappear back on the other side. It's very reminiscent of the classic Bubble Bobble... with arrow-firing angel blobs, obviously. A nice touch is that arrows can be fired into walls to create temporary platforms.

Sit yourself down with a friend and see what you think. And if you like this (or even if you don't), it's worth checking out another of Nitrome's games, the brilliant Icebreaker, where cutting ice to save trapped vikings is the name of the game.

This looks stunning but I cant help but be reminded of the Kid Icarus DS mockup.

This game isn't bad, it's cute (little devil looks like a cute piggy when he flies), it eventually gets boring but it's entertaining enough. Worth the try.
