Quarth (Japan)

Quarth gameplay and features

Quarth (Japan) puts a small craft beneath a field of colored shapes. Move left and right to line up your shots, then fire square blocks upward. The narrow playfield makes positioning matter as shapes approach from above. The score display and P counter show the current game status. This entry combines shooting inputs with a block-puzzle layout.
