Two-player coop game on the bridge of a space battleship. Work together to loot and destroy all the alien ships in each level.
Each player operates their own screen - Player 1 on top in red, Player 2 on bottom in blue.
Best with 2 players. Feel free to try this out without a partner, but it is extremely difficult to play both screens at once!! Get a friend and try it out. Communication is key!
This is your status bar - From left to right it shows the state of your 4 directional shields, your hull health, how much loot you've collected, and the most recent signal that you've intercepted from an enemy ship.
From any screen, press Z to go to screen select:
UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT to go to the MAP, POW, WEP, or HAX screen.
LEFT/RIGHT to turn
UP/DOWN to engage thrusters.
UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT to move cursor.
X to pick up/place a Power Core.
WEAPONS: makes weapons stronger and longer range
SHIELDS: makes shield recover faster
SENSORS: zooms out the MAP screen
ENGINES: accelerate faster and higher top speed
RESERVE: unused cores ready to be allocated, though weapons cool down faster if you have reserve cores.
Downloaded Cores work just like regular power cores, but are lost at the end of the level.
Later in the game you may unlock QUANTUM CORES, which have a special function depending on which system you put them on.
UP/DOWN to select weapon
LEFT/RIGHT on PHASER to adjust angle (See clock angles on MAP screen).
X ON PHASER to fire.
X ON MGUN to lock on to a target when the green cursor is right on top of it. MGUN will fire continuously once locked on, until lock is broken by distance or line of sight.
When enemy ships take actions, they create signals that your ship can intercept. Signals are generated when an enemy ship: 1. Fires, 2. Hits you, 3. Gets very close to you, 4. Is hit by your PHASER A or PHASER B, 5. When you lock on to it.
UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT to move cursor.
X to capture a ship's signal - you can only capture signals from one ship (one color) at a time, and you can only capture unique symbols.
Move cursor all the way to the right to select a HACK once enough signals are captured.
