Shooter games

Everything here is grouped by an input rather than by a subject. You point at something and release, and the interest lies in what the pointing actually involves.

Some are physics problems. Archery Master Bow and Arrow makes drag length the power and release angle the arc, so each shot is a correction on the last. Fury Tanks is turn-based artillery across hilly ground running the same arithmetic, with winnings spent on armour and health between turns.

Others are about holding a position. Polygon Space and Last Ufo Defense track their targets automatically and leave you the upgrade decisions between waves, which is where those runs are won.

Paint Pop 3D belongs here on mechanics alone — one tap, a rotating ring, every segment to coat without catching an obstacle. It is the gentlest thing on the shelf by a distance.
