- SPACEHAWK - Shoot-'em-up game for Windows 3.1/95 - Uses DietSprite API
-
- OK, this is my first game, and it's still in beta, so have a little patience. :)
- Be sure to visit the Sprite32 web page at:
-
- http://www.nether.net/~sprite32/sprite32.html
-
- OK, on to the game.
-
- Controls:
-
- Left and Right move ship.
- Spacebar shoots.
-
- You can also use the mouse to move the ship, and click the button to fire.
-
- Power-ups:
-
- "E": Replenishes your energy. Red E's are 5 energy points, green E's are 20 (a
- full recharge).
-
- Jewels: Mega points! Rubies are 1000, sapphires are 2000, and diamonds are 5000 points.
- Remember to collect these, as every 50,000 points awards you an extra ship!
-
- Guns: Upgrade cubes will appear from time to time. They are color-coded as follows:
-
- Gray: Standard issue laser.
- Red: Particle-beam cannon. (Does twice as much damage as standard.)
- Green: Photon torpedoes. (Does 4x damage)
- Blue: Plasmoid sphere cannon (Does 8x damage; a MUST for fighting Menacer!)
-
- Extra ships. Need I say more?
-
- Enemies:
-
- Drone: Small, light green, robotically piloted space ships. Basically harmless if
- there's only one or two, watch out if they come in groups of six or eight.
- Armed with laser.
-
- Saucer: Looks like something out of a "B" movie. Prefers to attack with particle
- beam at long range. Will give chase but is slow to react.
-
- Spinner: "X" shaped satellite that spins around the edges of the screen. Uses photon
- torpedoes.
-
- Invader: Big purple ship with mean "eyes". Moves right in for the kill, but retreats
- when at point-blank range.
-
- Menacer: One of the flag ships of the armada. Has a "Stealth Bomber" shape and two
- particle cannons. Remember to take out the cannons FIRST before attacking
- the ship itself!!!
