Spinal Breakers (US, prototype) — About this game
Spinal Breakers (US, prototype) is an exact registered version in this game family. Spinal Breakers places Colonel Waffle beneath an aiming cursor as he fights the Hildroid-infected enemies of different eras. Holding fire fixes his position while the joystick moves the sight, so shooting and evasion require deliberate changes of action. The dodge button rolls away from incoming attacks, while the third action spends a limited heavy explosive. Destroying objects can uncover weapon and supply upgrades, adding useful targets among the enemies before the next short stage begins. Version-specific changes to characters, stages, timing, difficulty, balance, graphics or hidden content are not inferred where the registration does not document them.
