Tyrian is an arcade-style, top-to-bottom scrolling shooter game. The gameplay includes controlling a space ship that can be fitted with different weapons and enhanced energy shields. Money is earned every time an enemy ship is destroyed. The money earned can then be used to buy weapons, other equipment, and more ships from interlevel menus.

El Hobito's homebrew Return to Tyrian for the DS is a pseudo sequel to that game so it basically uses the same gameplay. This first release features the following:

* 1 v short level
* 1 weapon type
* 1 enemy type
* 2 AI methods
* 1 player type
* 2 sounds

Remember, El Hobito is expecting comments and suggestion from you. So test-drive Return to Tyran DS and tell him what you think.
