A simple Side-Scrolling Shooter, where you have 10 seconds to live, so you need to collect orbs to stay alive, while trying to kill enemies to score points.

If you fail to collect enough orbs you die, but you can't have more time than the maximum of 10 seconds.

There is no end, it is just a high-score hunt (the high-score list is NOT saved after the game is quitted!)

Controls:
------------

Move ... Arrow Keys
Shoot ... Ctrl
Pause ... Esc

Tools used:
---------------

* Programming: Flash (IDE: FlashDevelop / Engine: Flixel)
* Art: Inkscape
* Music: Bfxr & Audacity

Classic scroll shooter with nice time twist. In the end, I found out it is better to be cautious and rather collect time than shoot everything.

My high score: 94. Always good to see more shmups in Ludum Dare!

Scored 87, didn't play for long. Got all the basics, wasn't blown out of the sky by the idea though.

I think you need work more the concept. The idea looks like a time runner, so the speed looks very essential to the mood of the game. Any way, nice work with the boosters.

Okay game, but you should have made the sky scroll, had some music in the background. More enemies and things. currently it's a bit too simple and lacks speed.

I agree that you should work on the concept more, it's such a cool idea. Reminds me of playing Torus Trooper back in the day.

Nice little shmup. Got a bit boring fast. More enemy types might have helped and some music? :)
