This is an improved and expanded version of my original game. Controls: Click - Shoot. Number Keys: 1. Beam - a short beam fires for a short time. Very useful when a large number of enemies have gotten close. 2. Bomb - A bomb is launched. Move your crosshair near the bomb to set it off. Useful against crowds of incoming enemies. 3. Air Strike - Activates a large explosion that will go off after a short time. Useful against even larger crowds of enemies. 4. Rapid Fire - Releases a short flurry of projectiles in every direction. Useful when surrounded. 5. Shield - Activates a rear shield for a short time. Useful when you can't protect every side. 6. Laser - Activates a laser on your crosshair. Useful for quickly and efficiently clearing out the screen. 7. Focus Beam - Fires a large beam in one direction. Very useful against Tank Drones, to quickly drive them all the way back. 8. Barrier - Deploys a protective barrier for a short time. Useful when surrounded. 9. Missile - Experimental, will spin in increasingly wider circles out until it hits the edge. 10. Shotgun - Just what it sounds like. There are a multitude of enemies, which will slowly appear as the clock progresses. Here they are, in order of appearance: 1. Assault Drone - medium speed, easy to deal with. 2. Warping Drone - mildly fast, will warp to a different position when you move your crosshair too close. 3. Tank Drone - slow, must be driven through sustained fire into the edge of the screen to be destroyed. 4. Ghost Drone - fast, will turn invisible as it approaches. 5. Duplicating Drone - medium speed, has a chance of spawning a duplicate of itself when it is destroyed. 6. Dodging Drone - will strafe back and forth in an attempt to dodge incoming fire. Once the clock hits 200, the boss battle will take place. This is signified by the screen inverting color, and a consistent wave of enemy Drones attacking. Afterwards, the second half begins, during which new enemies will appear: 7. Shield Drone - slow, cannot be harmed with primary fire. Can be destroyed using any form of special attack. 8. Armored Drone - medium to slow speed, every time it is hit, it redeploys somewhere else on the screen. It takes 4 hits to destroy. 9. Speed Drone - very fast, will slow down when the crosshair is nearby. 10. Command Drone - will spawn more Drones when it is destroyed. 11. Swarm Drone - will create duplicates of itself the longer it's around. Additional Controls: -SPACE: Skip to the boss battle (resets your score). -M: ????
Update 3.0: Expanded the game extensively from what it was before! Update 4.0: Added a main menu and level selection! Update 5.0: Rewrote much of the internal code to make it both easier to read and more robust! Update 6.0 (in progress): More enemies and smoother progression planned!
