Icarus

“Let me warn you, Icarus, to take the middle way, in case the moisture weighs down your wings, if you fly too low, or if you go too high, the sun scorches them. Travel between the extremes. And I order you not to aim towards Bootes, the Herdsman, or Helice, the Great Bear, or towards the drawn sword of Orion: take the course I show you!”
- Ovid, VIII.183-235

Description

A bullet-hell inspired action arcade game, based on the Greek myth of Icarus, the boy who flew too close to the sun. Survive for as long as you can, avoiding the wrath of Zeus, or the birds who share your path. And remember, never, to fly too close to the sun.
