The evil Pepsi Consultant is conspiring to conquer the world. Your mission is to infiltrate his secret base, beneath the surface, and destroy everything.

The fate of the world rests on your shoulders!

(My apologies, I wrote this in a hurry just to have a text on my submission. Who needs a story in a shoot-em-up anyway? Isn't blasting things in a cave fun by itself?)

Anyway, just use the left and right arrow keys to move, up arrow to thrust upward, and if you need to go down, just let gravity do its job. Space to fire!

This game was made in 48h using Kate (text editor), ImpactJS, Inkscape, Gimp, jcgmusic, timidity, as3sfxr, audacity and red wine. Especially red wine. Firefox + Firebug, Chrome and, finally, Bitbucket for hosting.

This game is obviously influenced by Cybernoid and other ZX Spectrum games (I even used the original Spectrum pallete), but not nearly as good.

Updated 29-04: "Convertion" to Safari and IE - uploaded mp3 versions of all sound assets.

I noticed the game is sluggish on Safari. If that happens to you, please try Firefox or Chrome. Thanks.
