Glass

About

Glass is a top-down shooter from 1985 where you pilot a starfighter through 14 escalating levels of alien robot attacks. You juggle twin lasers against waves of enemies while managing a shrinking shield bar, every hit chips away at your defenses. The goal is simple but tense: clear each stage to reach a citadel, trigger a nuclear detonation, and move to the next challenge. The fixed-screen format keeps action focused, with growing difficulty and tighter enemy patterns as you progress. For its time, Glass stood out with its pseudo-3D perspective and relentless pacing. It leans into old-school arcade toughness without slowing down, demanding precise reflexes and patience. Lemon64’s community gives it a 4.3/5, praising its addictive loop and satisfying explosive finales. The lack of modern polish won’t impress everyone, but the raw challenge and clear objectives make it a brisk, no-frills blast for fans of straightforward shooter design.

Storyline

Your planet has been invaded by aliens and they have built three citadels that act as a base for further expansion.The objective is to acquire the skills to become a starfighter pilot to fight the alien invaders. Before you reach the citadels you have to fight numerous robots with your twin lasers and avoid getting hit which reduces your shields. Once you reach one of the cities a nuclear warhead is launched and you get to sit back and watch the end of the citadel.
