The last canopy is a specific variety of shoot'em-up called a manic shooter (or a bullet-heck shooter, with respect to our all-ages audience), which has a lot of modern conventions, but basically means that a whole lot of firepower is being exchanged. the setting is a ruined world where a single treethe last canopystill stands, protected by a race of butterfly-winged fairies with the power to absorb energy from their foes. you control one of these fairies on his heroic quest to return a fallen bird to its nest. this mostly nonsensical story serves as an excuse for you to battle an army of hostile vehicles through four bullet-drenched levels, each capped off by an intense boss encounter. controls: move the fairy around with the mouse or the arrow keys, fire with [z/y], and absorb firepower from your enemies with [x]. press [p] to pause and [q] twice to quit.
