Sand Scorpion (Earlier) — About this game
Sand Scorpion (Earlier) sends a fighter through a six-stage vertical shooting campaign with a main shot and a separate special weapon. The standard firing action also handles the equipped sub-weapon, while the missile-bomb stock supplies a limited stronger response. That simple separation makes positioning important: ordinary fire can keep working while the craft avoids a formation, and the special attack can be reserved for a more difficult moment. Learn the main shot’s coverage before spending the bomb supply, then keep room to react when the next group enters the screen.
