Shoot turrets, and rescue spacemen! Alternatively, shoot spacemen and rescue turrets, but score much fewer points.
Fly into the asteroid space station (use your imagination! :) ), shooting turrets out while dodging bullets, and rescue the waiting spacemen.
As with most time-limited projects, this was much less extensive than I originally intended, but it still turned out to be pretty fun :)
--------------------------------------
LINUX USERS: it may not work for you first time :( If you get this error:
"Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so"
Please just delete the "libasound.so.2" in the spacerescue directory, and it should find the one on your system, which should work fine.
If you double-clicked the icon and got no error, please try running in a terminal to check for the above message. Please also let me know if something different goes wrong, and I'll see what I can do.
Sorry about the hassle!
--------------------------------------
WINDOWS USERS: '#' to reset the ship may not work for you, depending on your keyboard layout. This seems to be a pygame bug :( (it's saying the key is backslash, which I never spotted) Sorry about that. Unfortunately I can't see a workaround without making a new version.
