Fever SOSis a vertical scrolling shooter game developed by Cave in 1998.
The gameplay is typical of manic shooters, with numerous swarms of enemies
onscreen at any given time, and bosses that shoot intimidatingly large clusters of bullets.
Unique to this title, the score of the game is disco music,
which is a particularly unusual choice for a shoot 'em up.
Also unlike other vertical scrolling shooters, Dangun Feveron offers you a wide degree of
customization in gameplay. You are prompted to select how fast you want your ship to move
(one of four choices), choose one of three rapid-fire weapons (used when you press Fire rapidly),
and one of three sustained-fire weapons (used when you hold down Fire).
This allows the player to tailor the ship to individual needs, be it a fast-flying speeder
with a widespread shot to quickly handle enemy squadrons, or a ship with lower speed to
dodge bullets carefully, and concentrated firepower to destroy single foes faster.
Dangun Feveron features another unique gameplay mechanism, the Capture scoring system. For
every enemy destroyed in a timely manner, a number of prisoners (A.K.A. Disco Men) will appear.
Prisoners can be rescued by touching them with the player's ship.
If left alone, each prisoner will drift slowly toward the bottom of the screen, then move
back up towards the top, after which they will disappear completely. For each prisoner
obtained, the value of enemies will increase by one point, so long as no prisoners escape
off the top of the screen; if this happens, the value will be reset.
