Welcome to Survival! Fullscreen is recommended. OBJECTIVE: Survive for as long as possible. The game will get much more difficult as you progress. • The player is the color changing ball that follows your mouse. • You only have a certain number of lives (see guide below for exact amounts). • Avoid the other balls and lasers at all costs. • The lasers (Unlocked at level 3) will give you a warning before they fire. • Touching green hearts will heal one life. Hearts are very rare, so don't plan to find them often. • You can also find items every once in a while. They are black and white. MODE GUIDE: • Survival Mode: This is the original game mode. Avoid the other balls, lasers, and bosses. Try to get hearts and powerups. • Daredevil Mode: This is similar to Survival Mode, but you only have 1 life and no healing opportunities. Enemies move faster and spawn more frequently. • Laser Mode: Play the game with lasers only. You start with one life, but you can heal. ENEMY AND OBSTACLE BEHAVIORS: Red (Level 1): Normal. Orange (Level 2): Change direction at random intervals. Yellow (Level 3): Fast. Lasers (Level 3): Fire horizonally. They have hurtboxes when they are orange. They also pierce shields. In Laser Mode, the time given to react to the lazers decreases over time. Green (Level 4): Big. Light Blue (Level 5): Really small and really fast. Brown (Level 6): Just like Orange, but gets random speed boosts. Lighter Blue (Level 7): Really small, fast, and bounces off of walls. Spawns in groups. Motherships spawn larger ones. Blue (Level 8): Points towards you when it spawns. Purple (Level 9): Teleports and instantly points at you after teleportation. Maroon (Level 10): Explodes and deals 2 damage if you get too close. Will also destroy enemies caught in the blast. Pink (Level 11): Clones itself. White (Level 12): Waits on the edges on the screen, then flings itself in the direction it's facing. Gray (Level 13): Follows you. They will go away if you touch them, even if your invincibility frames are in progress. Light Blue & Blue (Level 14): Acts like Blue, but moves as fast as Light Blue. Black (Level 15): Just like Gray, but they are much faster and speed up as they get closer to you. Fake Heart (Rare): Red, acts like a green heart, and does two damage. Mothership (Boss): Fires larger Lighter Blue enemies. Touching it will deal 2 damage. Quadlaser Turret (Boss): Fires huge lasers in 4 directions. Touching the turret itself won't do damage due to the padding required to shoot the lasers. POWERUPS: Green Heart: Restores 1 HP. Erase All: Removes all enemies on the screen, with the exception of bosses. Shield: Protects you from anything that isn't a laser for 6 seconds.
