Story

Shoot the evil Blergh, who are trying to invade the earth.  Shoot all of them, and win freedom for everybody back on earth!

Make sure the Blergh don't get past you, and reach earth!

Good luck Hero!

Instructions

Use the left and right arrow key to move your space craft.  Shoot with space bar.  The aim is either to get to the highest level or get the highest score.  Shoot all aliens before they reach the bottom, and go to the next level, which is a little more difficult.

Bonus: Shoot the flying saucer for extra points.  The saucer drops a power up/down when you shoot it. Collect power ups, and avoid power downs.

Weapons: You start with a conventional bullets, which are slower, weaker and need reloading. Try to find the right power up to get a better weapon fast.


NOTE: Instead of using cursor left and right keys, you can also use the A and D key (as in WASD).

Technical

This game is written in a version of my own home cooked "game engine", called Game1GL.  Currently it only works on WebGL.  The game resolution is kept low on purpose, to mimic a more retro feeling. The sound is also kept simple synthetic, to mimic old style computer sound. Sound is done using WebAudio.
