Controls: W/A/S/D to move, Space to fire laser. Hold mouse down or tap the screen to change direction. (TIP: Hold Space to fire many lasers at a time!) Dodge the enemies and their lasers, and prevent them from reaching the bottom of the screen. POWERUPS! Star - grows in size and eliminates enemies! Laser Powerup - makes your lasers grow in size! Super Balloon - increases score by 10, but also increases enemy speed by .5 Lightning - makes fast lightning bolts fire from your ship, damaging enemies and activating other powerups Shield - a one-time use shield against enemy attacks! Ricochet - for 3 seconds, all your attacks ricochet off of enemies! If any particular shot ricochets enough times, it will also give you massive score bonuses! Roll - whenever you make a roll for the duration, you make an AOE attack centered on yourself! MODES! Classic Mode - all powerups active, maximum zany engaged. Go blast some robots! Hard Mode - for the pros. No powerups, but you start with a shield, your speed is increased, and enemies get MUCH faster, WAY sooner. Plus, the final boss is way stronger. Can you beat it?
