This is my version, with a bunch of juiceful extra stuff that wasn't in the original classic release.</p> <p>What, I really have to explain the game? In this day and age? Fine...</p> <h2>The Controls</h2> <ul> <li>⬅️ and ➡️ to steer.</li> <li>⬆️ to thrust forward.</li> <li>[Z] to perform a hyperspace warp! Your momentum is conserved. You might warp face-first into an asteroid, though.</li> <li>[X] to fire.</li> </ul> <h2>The Game</h2> <p>As you destroy asteroids and flying saucers, you will gain <strong>points</strong>. See, this is one of those &quot;arcade games&quot; where the points are the point, and the reward is a high score.</p> <p>That's neat and all, but the game will also become more difficult as you increase your score and clear screens. I wonder if there's a limit...</p> <p>Gain 10.000 points and you'll get an extra life, up to sixteen.</p> <h2>Some Advice</h2> <ul> <li>Try not to go into hyperspace unless you absolutely have to. It becomes more of a gamble as the number of asteroids increases.</li> <li>Don't just sit there... The flying saucers will have a harder time aiming if you keep moving.</li> <li>Destroying asteroids while you're right next to them is probably not going to end well for you when they split in two.</li> <li>Remember that your own shots also wrap around the edges of the screen.</li> </ul> <h2>Also, Stuff</h2> <ul> <li>Aside from the main game there is also <strong>Lurker Mode</strong>. In this mode, there is only a single, small asteroid chunk, but flying saucers show up far more often, and they have much better aim. See how long you can take this...</li> <li>You can go into the settings to enable the visualization of collision shapes. Also, something called &quot;funky mode&quot;...?</li> </ul> <h2>That's About It</h2> <p>If something seems off, it's probably my fault and you should yell at me about it. Have a good day!</p> <p>It's pronounced &quot;a-stroyed.&quot;</p> <h2>Changelog</h2> <p><div><div><input type="button" value=" Show " onClick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerText = ''; this.value = ' Hide '; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerText = ''; this.value = ' Show '; }"></div><div><div style="display: none;"></p> <h3>1.2 (05/02/2024)</h3> <ul> <li>Added: A sound effect and screenshake are present when the cart first starts</li> <li>Changed: The custom pause menu has been removed, as there is now one built into desktop Picotron</li> <li>Fixed: Holding an option button for longer than one tick resulted in accidentally selecting &quot;Play&quot; or &quot;try again&quot;; there is now a small delay before menu actions will work when the game over screen comes up or the cart starts anew</li> </ul> <h3>1.1 (04/23/2024)</h3> <ul> <li>Added: High scores are tracked and shown both on the title screen and on game over</li> <li>Fixed: Hyperspace warp affected player bullets</li> </ul> <h3>1.0 (04/23/2024)</h3> <ul> <li>Initial release<br /> </div></div></div></li> </ul> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=141906 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=141906 Tue, 23 Apr 2024 04:09:44 UTC
