Goal
Complete all 10 waves and beat the final boss at wave 11. Try to beak your highscore.
Tips
- Weapon powerups help A LOT, try to get them
- Use your bombs wisely, they do loads of damage and they destroy enemy bullets
- Getting hit will decrease your life and powerup by one
- Try killing attacking enemies, they give you extra points. They shake before attacking
- Collect the gold coins for bonus points
- If you want more points, try setting the difficulty to a higher level. (default is normal)
- If you find the game to hard, set the difficulty to easy
- If you want to play with a friend co-op, you'll need to set players to 2 in the settings.

Hi
I'm wondering if the config file is exported to html/bin.
I would like the joystick_index to be exported
I was also wondering if there is a way to export your keyconfig along with the html exprort.
On the bin export that seems to be the case.
thanks in advance
Hi
I was looking around to see if I could use the notifications that pop-up in my game.
I was unable to find anything.
Example: "high scores cleared", "game saved", ...
Does anyone know if this is achievable? And do you care to share? :)
thanks in advance
