About Shoot-a Story

In Shoot-a Story, everything is made up of text, including the enemies, the bullets and the ship you control. The game itself plays like a wave-based Space Invaders, with the aim being to destroy the waves of words and get as high a score as possible before the words defeat you. Alongside ten levels, the ability to create custom levels and six fonts to play in, the game also features controller support and interactive menus to destroy to your heart’s content.
