## About

A proof of concept about what can be done with plain Canvas, JavaScript and a bit of auditory and visual trickery.

It's been intended to be somewhat 'arcade-ish', but with a more decent pace and visual focus.

### Compatibility

- Browser with Canvas 2D API support

- Desktop PC with min. 800px screen width

- Decent computing/ graphics power (can be resource intense)

- Mouse, keyboard, audio output

### Playing

There are no goals or enemies yet, but a score for your numeric needs.

- Every game start (or reload) generates a different background ambiente, music, and slight ship settings

- Weapon can change randomly on hit (sth. out of screen ;)

- Difficulty increases over time and affects e.g. particle speed

- Being hit by particle is seemingly unpleasant, and a different experience with or without shield

### History

- 2013: Project start, concepts and mostly graphics. Received few random updates over later years.

- 2020: I decided to start rebuilding it with current technologies and skills, but it's quite a process!

- 2023: Rebuild all graphics, new game mechanics, audio, win/lose conditions, additional Fx.

#### 2013 version
