Sine Mora

Sine Mora is a horizontal shoot ’em up with a story mode that weaves a narrative into the action and an arcade mode focused on score and challenge. Players pilot a craft through seven stages.

Fight waves of enemies with different weapons and bombs, combining equipment in more than 50 possible weapon setups. Time-manipulating devices let players alter the pace of combat.

Survival time is central: taking hits reduces the remaining time, while destroying enemies can add time back. In arcade mode, remaining time contributes to the score, and difficulty levels and a hidden ranking system offer further challenges.

The supplied reviews are mixed. One player praises the game’s design and calls its varied boss encounters clever, while also describing the difficulty as high. Other reviewers complain about mouse controls and, in one case, crashes in the EX version on their hardware; another broadly criticizes the game’s approach to the shoot ’em up genre.
