Frantic 3
Polymer Rabbit kicks it up a notch with the next entry in their top-down shooters with Frantic 3. More levels, more bullets (and let's not forget bigger bullets too)... they're just gonna throw everything they can at you. But you can take it cause you're a lean, mean, projectile-avoiding, shooting machine. Seriously, your ship's set to auto-fire. At least that's one less thing to worry about as you weave your way through 15 stages (plus 15 more bonus stages) of bullet hell.

Game of the week

Cool mindless shooter with upgrades.
Added! Thanks Cornelius.
Pretty cool game! My only problem with it is that, when using mouse controls, whenever the cursor goes off the game area the ships gets stuck. And getting cornered in bullet hell games is like jumping in platformers :P
I enjoyed Frantic 2, but this feels very downgraded in every way.
The shop/upgrades, the bullet scraping, multi colored powerups, the boss being composed of many destroyable parts, the super ability... All these were better in the previous game.
Some accessories mention "scraping"". What is scraping and how can I do it?

Scraping is staying close to enemy bullets without getting hit. It's mentioned in the 'Help' menu at the bottom of the stage select screen.
Can somebody please explain how the emergency device works, especialy how to activate it?

The emergency device does just what it says, which is occasionally converting nearby bullets into coins. The effect is subtle and hard to spot. And as with some of the other accessories, will only ever go off while you're in secondary weapon mode (left-clicking with mouse controls). Otherwise, you have no control over it.
Hope that helps :)
