Counter Force

"Counter Force" is a classic action shooter in the style of old arcade cabinets where you run right and blast everything in your path. The main thing that sets it apart is the Weapon Power-ups mechanic: flying capsules drop upgrades that actually change your gun rather than just adding points. It is not just shooting; it is about constantly upgrading your firepower right in the middle of the game.

The gameplay loop is all about constant forward movement. You use the arrow keys to move around and jump over gaps while pressing Z or Space to shoot at enemies. Flying capsules will appear on the screen, so you need to collect the power-ups they drop to boost your weapon. The entire process comes down to not stopping, mashing the fire button on time, and picking up upgrades, or else the enemies will simply overwhelm you.

This game is a good fit for fans of free browser shooters who enjoy nostalgia for retro consoles. There are no complex settings or long tutorials here, just launch and play. Tip: do not try to kill every single enemy during the first minute, focus on catching the first dropped capsule upgrade instead to get rapid fire and survive longer.
