5Solar Striker is a vertically scrolling shoot'em up with six levels and bosses at the end of each. This was the first shoot'em up developed for the Gameboy. It has auto-fire however it shoots at different rates based on where you are on the screen which is a bit odd. With only three lives and no continues it's also difficult. The upgrade system is also a bit odd. There are better shoot'em ups for the platform.
