The freeware shmup Technosylph has a very deep power up system. The game has a Gradius style meter, but it doesn't power up like Gradius. The purple meter refills automatically, but goes down when you shoot. The purple meter needs to be increased with power ups in order to reach a power up choice. When the purple meter reaches a power up choice, you can choose that upgrade. The rate of fire can be adjusted. Higher settings eat up the meter faster, so preserving firepower is necessary. There is also a lock on laser in the game. I haven't played in a while, so please correct me if I got anything wrong.
