Michael Packard of Snacking On Software has announced the imminent availability of his new 8-bit shmup, Alien Downpour — “a fast-action arcade-style shooter”. It is developed in assembly language and will run on any Apple II with 48K of RAM.

Alien Downpour will be available mid-April 2017 in disk image format. Additionally, a limited run of DOS 3.3 cassettes and 5.25″ floppies, packaged in Ziploc bags, will be sold for $20 each, including shipping anywhere in the world. Preorders are being accepted via PayPal.
