The Illusionist

Instructions

IMPORTANT- READ INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FULL SCREEN AND VOLUME RECOMMENDED ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PRESS THE FLAG 4 TIMES (as well as the play button) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE ILLUSIONIST- A GLITCHY GAME OF STRATEGY AND A BIT OF LUCK ------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE REPORT ANY BUGS, thanks :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ STORY Whilst adventuring in the country side, you stumble across a cave, and being the curious boy you are, decide to venture far into it. You eventually come across a strange creature, the "Illusionist" who you anger, creating him to use his powers against you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTROLS -arrow keys to move (directions WILL change if the Illusionist uses his abilities, so watch out if dodging his bullets/beam!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -If you touch the Illusionist's bullets or beam you will lose a heart. If you lose 3 hearts, it's game over, and the Illusionist defeats you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ILLUSIONIST'S ATTACKS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -Control Swap1=Your up and down controls will swap, meaning to jump you will have to press the down key. Note that every time the Illusionist starts a new move, your controls will reset. -Control Swap2=Your left and right controls will swap, meaning to go left you will have to press the right arrow key, vice versa to go right. Not that every time the Illusionist starts a new move, your controls reset. -Beam Shoot=The illusionist goes white, and depending if he is currently using a control swap move, will enlarge. He then emits a shaking beam which, if touched, takes one of your hearts. They soon disappear, but can be very annoying as they can put you in a corner, therefore being vulnerable to the bullet attack. -Bullet Shoot=The illusionist goes white, and depending if he is currently using a control swap move, will enlarge. He then emits a line of bullets which home towards you, which, if touched, takes one of your hearts. The bullets soon disappear after. This move is the main attack of the Illusionist, and is the main drain of hearts for most players. Note that these bullets have a chance of going invisible, meaning that if you "randomly" lose a heart, it was not random. He is the Illusionist, his powers are supposed to be tricky. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AIM ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -To survive the Illusionist as long as possible, and to be the longest surviving victim of the Illusionist. -------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTES -Note that more than one attack can be done at the same time. If the attack is a combination of a damaging attack and a move swap attack, the Illusionist will not enlarge themselves, but SHOULD still go white -Note that the bullets have a chance of going invisible, meaning that if you "randomly" lose a heart, it was not random. He is the Illusionist, his powers are supposed to be tricky -Note that the beam randomly spawns somewhere on the map for a split second before teleporting to the Illusionist. Like mentioned above, he is the Illusionist, his powers are supposed to be tricky -Note that this game is EXTREMELY BUGGY. There is alot of code fighting each other in the background, so, like mentioned in "Known bugs", there is a likely chance of random flashes of game play. -Note that once pressed, the help button becomes of no use until you meet the homescreen again. This is not a bug, this is just the code i chose for the button.
