Über From Beyond: Arcade Edition
Destroy Lyrics, Chase High Scores, and rock out FROM BEYOND! This game turns an entire '80s-inspired rock album into a high-octane space shoot 'em up. Your target? The song lyrics themselves. Dodge alien attacks, shred words as they scroll up the screen, and master the ultimate score-chasing loop to climb the global leaderboards.
