Game Notes




You are a Space Ship ,in a Space Shooter : press Space to shoot ;)

Shoot anything that isn't you .And don't hit 'em or their bullets .

"Guns .Lots of 'em ."



You can use different types of bullets to fire .A short description of what's available :

Description : Infinite ammo .



Gun 2





Bullet : Poison Pint




Description : Full of Green Venom ,Jagged Fire ...



Gun 3

Description : Phew !That's fast !

Collectibles




Collectibles are of two types : Ammo and Others .



Ammo


Ammo is for guns .They add on for Guns other than 

that for Fire Fury ,in which case the bullet power is boosted .



Others




Others give health ,lives and points .



All collectibles disappear after some time .





Points




Points can be accumulated by killing enemies or picking up collectibles

.Once you cross a number of points ,a life gets added .Once a new life

gets added ,your points drop down to zero .This is done till you have

the maximum number of lives ,after which you can accumulate as many points 

as you like ,as long as you don't lose your life .





Enemies




Enemies aren't spawned as such .Only certain types of enemies are allowed in a given level .One may usually expect the difficulty level to increase with level .

Do not stand in their way if they can shoot .Use appropriate guns instead .





User Experience




Running it is no big deal .It plays _only_ with a keyboard as of now .
