High Gambler 0X00
A downloadable game for Windows
The year is 0X00, and a new, deadly aircraft has been invented -- an aircraft equipped with an experimental laser that can destabilize enemies and disintegrate them, turn them to gold, or... something else. Take to the skies in the mighty "Gambler" ship and wreak havoc on the enemy forces!

Gameplay
Hitting enemies with the laser damages them, and has a chance of destabilizing them, or disintegrating them when they're low on health.
Destabilized enemies come in two forms: gold and red. Gold enemies tend to shoot slower bullets and sometimes at a faster rate, while red enemies usually shoot more bullets at a faster velocity.
You can influence the rate at which enemies are destabilized by grazing bullets or flying over grounded enemies. This increases the "gamble meter," and makes it more likely for enemies to turn gold or red when hit by the beam.
When a destabilized enemy is defeated, all bullets on the screen are cancelled and turned into gems that add to your score at the end of the game.
You get three bombs per life, and they can be used to disable bullets for a short time, or damage enemies.
You start with three lives; get hit by a bullet and you'll lose one life. Losing a life resets your bombs and halves your gems and gamble meter. Lose all three lives and the game ends.
