About this game
Over Horizon lets the ship fire both forward and backward with separate buttons. Weapon chips cycle between laser, homing and bomber types, while pods add firepower and block ordinary bullets, with lasers and missiles excluded from that protection. The edit menu lets you distribute weapon points between penetration, tracking and explosive traits, and arrange pod positions. TEST MODE shows the edited setup before using it. Ship speed can also be changed through five settings, giving preparation and in-flight control separate roles.
