“An 80s-arcade inspired co-op spaceship combat game with a unique twist; No shooting.

“Melee Spaceship is a hardcore game with the unique mechanic where you dash through enemies to attack and flip to recharge your dash. With only one dash attack available before you flip, the goal is to force gameplay mastery instead of the typical button spam of traditional SHMUPS.”
