"Destroy the baddies, collect the prizes, and survive the game!" Use the keyboard to move (WASD or Arrow keys) Use the mouse to aim and fire Battle through room after room, collecting cash and prizes. Use a variety of weapons and power-ups as you face wave after wave of enemies from all directions! Full instructions are included in game. Enjoy and don't forget to take a look at the code! Menus Help ▶ WASD or Arrow keys to move the selection and change options ▶ Space to activate (e.g. PLAY) Please note there are some flashing images in the game: in particular on the loading screen (turned off by default) and within an easter egg that is triggered from the title screen. This game is a much toned-down version of the original. Tips ▶ Collect as many prizes and cash as you can, and as quickly as you can. This gives bonus points, and bonus points eventually lead to bonus lives. ▶ When respawning use the opportunity to destroy as many enemies as possible. ▶ Don't walk in front of open doors. ▶ Flashing arrows tell you which doors are about to open. ▶ Collectables lead to secret rooms, which contain the chance for even more bonus points. Still reading? Then here's an Easter Egg for you! Press key '1' immediately after clicking the green flag... wait a bit, then press '2'... wait a bit, then press '3'... all the way up to '9' :)
