Mouse controls. Shoot the oranges. Oranges explode, and the explosion hurts. Be careful. Don’t take it lightly, it’s harder than you think. Exploding oranges can explode others in a chain reaction. Beware the shrapnel (orange juice) from the explosions. Try to last as long as you can. There are also watermelon motherships; they move slowly, but when hit they go crazy and action their vengeance by summoning 20 watermelon slices which move in quickly to destroy you. Then there are the strawberry turrets — they sneak onto the edge of the screen and shoot seeds at you. You can block these with any weapon. Try to collect the healing ufos (look like footballs but ARE NOT) as they recover 20 hp. Beware the light-bomb asteroids, which bounce around and act like a flash bomb when hit. Oh, and I heard someone at the bus stop talking about the ‘assassin banana’ which will attack again after killing it. Sounds dangerous—watch out. …There is a hidden progress system. Every 50 seconds, enemies get smaller. They come more frequently. Lasers come more often, to the point when they’re nonstop. Healing UFOs go from uncommon to rare to nonexistent. But… if, somehow, against all odds… You survive. You face the ultimate challenge; defeat the almighty Fruit Overlord, Vruitus Plattexus The CXXVIIth. If you defeat him, you truly are worthy of an Epic (with a capital E) title.
I didn’t want to download sus music from the internet, or use scratch music (no offence to scratch) so I made music out of a basketball bouncing sound. All art apart from the enemies’ base appearance and the background are by me. Press the button to change your weapon. (READ THIS) Laser: fast auto. If you love this weapon you’re probably basic. Spreadlaser: slower but shoots 12 projectiles outwards. Good for crowd control when enemies get fast and small. Melee: basically a lightsaber. Not quite long enough to always protect you from explosions, so watch your health of use it with other weapons. Kind of looks like a lollipop… Rockets: slower. Flies, explodes leaving a black hole, the black hole explodes. Fireballs: slower still. Flies and bounces off walls. Plasmatic flash sweep: wipes across the screen, killing everything. After using, wait 5 seconds before you can fire again. Mine: sits and waits for an enemy to touch it, then explodes. A lot. Plasma ‘pea’ shooter: shoots tiny projectiles which bounce off walls. Slash: quickly fire a cone of light in front of you. Not auto — spam to use. Shield: block damage in an arc, but energy for it is drawn from your valuable hp… Magnetic particle beam: takes a while to charge up, then fires a laser across the screen which sticks around for a bit. Heal: recover 2hp every 0.65 seconds. (Sorry the sound is kinda annoying). ???: um, not sure… but when I activated it, I had to wait 20 seconds to shoot again. Killed all enemies on screen though. Comment if you want updates.
