This is heavily inspired by Space Invaders, Breakout, Yar's Revenge, Galaga, a touch of DoDonPachi (not really) and Space Megaforce. The idea is to help your 'friends' in the diamond-shaped escape vessel MacGuffin to escape from some extremely generic space baddies in an interstellar space race. There was only time to build the first level... but thats at least something. Also: Lots of particle effects.

Severely lacking: Balance... It starts out very difficult but gets super easy quick.

Gameplay Tip 1:

Charge your power [multiplier] by killing [small enemies], then you can hurt the bigger ones... but beware: multiplier drops when you don't kill quickly. So keep a balance between focusing small and big enemies!


Gameplay Tip 2:

Always shooting makes it harder. Let small enemies spawn in number, then kill a mass of them to boost your power multiplier.
