Suitor Shooter

Introducing Eloise Smith, London's most eligible bachelorette. Whenever she's out on the town, suitors flock from all over, each of them eager to ask for her hand and unwilling to take 'no' for an answer.

Polite society frowns upon the use of physical violence to solve problems, so Eloise must turn to verbal violence instead. Drive away these bothersome beaus with the power of old-timey insults!

Be warned -- there's only so much a lady can put up with. If Eloise becomes too enraged, she won't show any more restraint. Shatter the suitors' confidence or Eloise will shatter their bones.

HOW TO PLAY:

Keep Eloise's rage under control for as long as possible!

• Running into a suitor or being hit by a projectile will increase Eloise's rage.
• Insulting a suitor or petting a cat will decrease Eloise's rage.
• Collect powerups to speed up Eloise, slow down the suitors, or grant Eloise temporary invincibility.

The game ends when Eloise's rage meter is full.
