Sinistar (1983) But Geometry dash

Instructions

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Based off of the hit arcade game, Sinistar. ▼Controls ▼What is Sinistar? ▼Bugs / Missing Features ▼Update 3/21/19 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Controls Move your mouse about the screen to aim. Press & hold W to move forward in the direction of the pointer. Press [Space] to fire. Press S to fire a Sinibomb. The Sinistar can only be harmed with this weapon. Fire at planetoids to collect sinicrystals for sinibombs. Worker ships will try to steal them to build the Sinistar, which is only harmed by your sinibombs. Warrior ships will fire at you, and just like being caught by the Sinistar, it's a one hit kill. Good luck. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- What was Sinistar? Sinistar was a fast-paced space shooter game developed by William Electronics in 1983. Though a hit arcade game, Sinistar was also a failure. As a game, it provides fun and intense gameplay. As an arcade game, however, it really wasn't worth spending a quarter for only a couple minutes of pleasure. Regardless, I believe it was a revolutionary game of its time, despite its greedy intentions and the failing arcade industry. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bugs / Missing Features I have intentions to continue working on this game.
