Figure of Eight is another Shoot 'Em Up by ABA Games.

Unlike most games of the same genre, the ship moves in a figure eight motion and you merely slow it down by clicking or touching the screen. By destroying enemies, some of them leaves point items which increases in value as the player collects them up to a point. Your progress in this game is recorded and only the top 10 players stay on the page.

Play this game here.

This game provides examples of:

  • Bottomless Magazines: The player ship automatically fires an enormous amount of projectiles, and will never run out of them.
  • Color-Coded for Your Convenience: The player ship is red, the things it needs to pick up are also red, your projectiles are white, while the enemies and their projectiles are blue.
  • Endless Game: It just goes on and on without any significant changes to the difficulty.
  • Meta Multiplayer: The current ranking, which is tracked as you play.
  • One Hitpoint Wonder: Getting hit once instantly destroys your ship.
  • Scoring Points: The point of this game, as stated above.
  • Spread Shot: The ship's weapon. It is very wide by default, but becomes narrow when the ship is slowed down.
