My first Pico-8 game based on the PC DOS game Paratroopers.
I am very happy to get to the end of my first game.
Object
Shoot down the sky soldiers before they land.
If four or more soldiers land on either side then they will climb up and destroy your turret.
Shoot the choppers and bombers for extra points. The soldiers parachute from the choppers.
Watch out for the bombers, they never miss, so shoot the bombs in mid-air.
You can clear landed soldiers by dropping others on them by shooting the chutes.
There are 50 soldiers in each wave - after each the difficulty increases.
Controls
Left and right aims the turret
'O' to shoot.
Challenges
The logic to get the soldiers to climb up was tricky. It doesn't always 100% work but somehow I like it..you might get lucky!
I would like to implement a high score table, and expect to do that soon.
