MicroWarS sideA

Instructions

This is an English explanation. All BGM used in this project is from the following projects. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/144766862 I would like to thank the creator @su2014080902. 2024/10/11Added support for the WASD keys. In the following explanation, the arrow keys can be replaced with the WASD keys, and the ZXC keys can be replaced with the JKL keys. This time it's side view shooting. ☆Operations on the play screen Arrow keys(or WASD key): Move own insect (8 directions) Z key(or J key): Shoot to ← direction X key(or K key): Shoot to → direction C key(or L key): Use unique equipment for each insect To use unique equipment, different amounts of energy are required for each insect. When the required amount of energy is reached, “Hit[C]Key” will be displayed at the top right of the screen, allowing you to use unique equipment. This game is life based. If you get hit again when your shield is 0, the mission will fail. Items may be dropped when attacking enemies. The effects of the items are as follows. ・Energy Ball: Dropped randomly. Picking them up will accumulate the energy needed to use unique equipment. ・Shield: Drops randomly (less frequently). Picking it up will restore one shield. ・Arm: Dropped by fixed enemies. Once picked up, it will not appear even if you restart the stage, but will drop a shield instead. Inside are additional weapons. If there is space on the four arms, equip it there. If there is no space available, it will be stocked in the warehouse. Obtained weapons can be exchanged on the Tactics screen. It will not go away even if you replace it. Basically, there is no point in not taking all items. I guess it's just a matter of shifting the timing of acquisition. ☆Operations on the tactics screen There are four things you can do on the Tactics screen: 1.Stage select and start Select a stage from the map and sortie. As you clear stages, the number of stages you can select will increase. Use the cursor keys to select the map, and use the Z or X key to confirm and start. Select “Tactics” on the bottom left to return to the tactics screen. 2.select Insect If certain conditions are met, the number of insect that can be used will increase. You can select the added insect on this screen. Select with the cursor keys ←→ and confirm with the Z or X key. Isn't a smaller-looking insect less likely to be hit? You might think so, but in reality, the hit detection is the same for all insect. There is no judgment especially around the wings. You don't have to choose based on performance alone. 3.Arm setting Weapons can be set on each of the four arms. You can select the weapons you obtain while playing. You can also adjust the firing angle of each weapon. Adjust the angle to be effective depending on the stage. Select arm using cursor keys ↑↓ From the selected arm, use the cursor keys ←→ to switch weapon selection and angle adjustment. Switch the weapon and adjust the angle with ↑↓ for each switched item. Switch to "DECIDE" at the bottom of the arm selection menu and use the Z or X key to determine the equipment. 4.Surrender In this game, even if you lose all your shields and get hit, the game will not be over. You will simply be returned to the stage selection screen. If you choose to surrender and then choose YES, the game will be over and you will be returned to the title screen. ☆Operations on the title screen Use the cursor keys ↑↓ to select the menu, and press Z and X to start. ·Game Start Play from stage 1 by operating your first machine, “Mosquito”. If you are hit by a bullet or clear the stage, you will be returned to the tactics screen and will be asked to proceed to the next stage or review your equipment. ·password You can resume from where you left off by recording the password displayed at the bottom right of the Tactics screen. Actually, due to capacity constraints, I was not able to enter the final stage of this project. As a deliberate measure, I decided to divide it into two parts. I am considering a configuration in which you can continue on Side B by using the password that you have cleared up to stage 3 on Side A. I apologize for the inconvenience, but please play like this this time. ·introduction Even if you were told that insects are at war with each other, I don't think you would understand. During the demo, press the C key to interrupt and return to the title screen. ☆Side B is done. If you have cleared at least one stage 3, copy the password at the bottom right of the screen and go to the next site! The latter half of the game is so difficult that even the author can't get the true ending without cheating. Well, I'm a lousy shooter, so it might not be that difficult if you try it.
