Venus the Flytrap
A platformer-shooter similar to Metal Storm. A specially-designed robotic beetle is sent to take down the legions of rogue AI insects meant to terraform a post-apocalyptic world.
Overview
Venus the Flytrap is a 1990 side-scrolling shooter-platformer from Core Design and Gremlin Graphics. The player, as the eponymous robot insect, moves across a number of stages earning power-ups and destroying rival cybernetic bugs. Venus can use its wings to make large jumps from platform to platform, and occasionally will pass over a tile that reverses gravity and allows them to walk along the ceiling (like in the NES game Metal Storm (Game)). The player can find weapon power-ups, score boosts and, occasionally, instant-death traps by defeating enemies and shooting the pellets they leave behind.
