Argus — About this game
Argus divides its battle between aerial opponents and ground defences. The craft can move across a wider area as the view follows sideways, while two attack controls handle the different target layers. Destroying ground panels earns power-ups, including improved firepower, protection and rewards tied to the landing after a stage. A larger enemy blocks the end of the route before that landing attempt. Keeping both ground targets and incoming aircraft in view helps prepare the next upgrade without neglecting immediate danger.
