- Reptiods Release Notes
- 11/8/96
-
-
- Reptoids is a fast paced 2D spaceship game. Flying through space you will
- need to destroy asteroids and alien saucers while collecting bonuses.
-
- Reptoids is harder than other games like HardBall and SubHunt because the ship
- moves in two directions instead of one. Also, because there's no friction in
- space the ship never slows to a stop. To stop, spin the ship around and thrust
- the engines to slow down. Generally people play one of two different styles.
- There's those who enjoy careening wildly through space and then there's those
- who play it safe by staying only in the middle and simply spinning in place.
- Both styles work but flying around takes a lot more skill to survive.
-
- The warp button (the up button) is key to the game. It is risky since you
- may warp straight into the center of a rock but it is the only way to survive
- otherwise hopeless situations. If you are dying a lot you probably aren't
- using the warp button.
-
- One last tip for success is to keep as few rocks onscreen as possible.
- Try finishing off a rock before working on another. If you let too many
- rocks loose you are guarenteed to get hit!
-
- Enjoy!

-
- Reptoids is released as freeware. Distribute it wherever you want but you
- must this file and the game together. Source code is available. My hope is
- that people will use the code to write much cooler games similar to Time Pilot,
- Bosconian, and so on. So check it out!
-
-
- I assume no responsibility for any damage that Reptoids may do.
