Identify Flying Object (I.F.O)

I.F.O (Identify Flying Object) is an old-school LCD-style shoot’em up game where players take control of a classic aircraft to battle invading aliens. In this straightforward setup, your main goal is blasting UFOs while rescuing animals that the extraterrestrials have snatched up—think of it as defending Earth in a retro handheld vibe that feels familiar if you’ve played vintage arcade titles. What sets it apart is the power-up system: grabbing an alien mid-flight boosts your plane with mysterious extraterrestrial energy, giving you an edge in tougher levels. Controls are super basic, which makes jumping in easy— just use left and right buttons to rotate your craft, or press both for a quick dash to dodge incoming threats. As you save different animals, you can switch weapons on the fly, regain some health, and even collect heart pieces that permanently increase your max life, depending on the creature type. For players who like focusing on mastery, there’s a special weapon mode to chase high scores using only your preferred gear, proving you’re tops with that setup. Made by Total Battery.
