If this is a genre and era that you love, then our games are for you.Solar Wind is our take on the classic sidescrolling shoot 'em ups of the past. Fight your way through deep space, penetrate asteriod belts, swoop low across alien moons, and weave through narrow caverns, and alien complexes as you take the fight to an unknown enemy.Solar Wind encompasses many elements of the classic side scrolling, shoot 'em ups. Blast asteroids, take on alien ships, upgrade your ship with numerous add-ons, and navigate the unknown in the retro-themed blaster. We've taken our love of such games as Scramble, R-Type, Gradius, Vanguard, and a load more and combined our favourite features of each.... And we haven't stopped yet!20 challenging, themed, retro blasting stages. A new big boss at the end of every stage. Over 90 different aliens, enemy weapons and defences..

Solar Wind - Launch News.: Hi All,After a very hectic Christmas and New Year, we at JimJamsGames have decided that in order to release the best EA version of Solar Wind to the public, we need another few weeks to tweak the game and work a little more on the visuals. We hope that you'll stay with us during this delay, and we know we'll have a much better release for you all as a result. The delay has already lead to a number of very cool improvements, and will result in a much deeper game.Thanks for reading,The JimJamsGames team.. Fuel, give me more Fuel!: Hi again,We've uploaded a quick update today following feedback from players. Some of you found that fuel disappeared too quickly or was too difficult to collect.So, we've considered the feedback and have added more ways to collect fuel, you can now fly low over fuel dumps and drain energy from them, fly through shield generators (This is a good one, it repairs hull damge, refuels your ship, and gives you a protective shield for 6 seconds). You can also bomb fuel installations for a small fuel increase, (Something often seen in the classic side scrollers) and finally, you can gain another small increase from a pick up if you're lucky enough to find one.We listen to all comments and read all reviews, and this is how you can help us to develop Solar Wind into the game you want to play. We can't promise to include all of your ideas, but we will consider them all.Thanks everyone,The JimJams Games team..
