Katharsis (aka Blaster!) is a shooting game similar to the arcade classic Defender. Like Defender, your ship travels horizontally around the map, with a radar at the bottom showing you the location of enemy ships that must be destroyed. This demo gives you a taste of the (for the time) nice looking hi-resolution graphics (using pre-rendered 3D sprites) and other impressive graphical flourishes and sound effects. The game takes place underwater (at least the first level does) so that's kinda neat. The gameplay seems a bit uninspired though; it's difficult to maneuver your ship around, and turning is done by holding the Alt key which seems unintuitive to me.
Instructions:
Use the arrow keys to move, Ctrl to shoot, and hold the Alt key to turn your ship around.
