=========================================== See the much improved & updated version, InterXeptor 3D: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/10085324/ =========================================== Shoot the other spaceships to make them explode (they respawn). They fire back now, so watch out - especially for the red guy with the lasers, and the new ship with the surprise weapon... use arrow keys, or move mouse, to rotate your spaceship up, down, left and right. a and d to roll the screen slowly (or hold mouse button while moving left/right). double tap a or d to do a real barrel roll! press space to fire your laser w and s to move forward and backward. double-tap w for speed boost. NOTE: there is a y control inverting button at the top right, and several other buttons and things - all is explained when you move your mouse over them (at which point the game will pause until you move your mouse off them).
Basically the same as the original, including the new baddie ship with a surprise weapon, and you die now when you run out of HP. HOWEVER: this has a couple of tweaks to make it a bit harder, including some extra AI for the ships when they're under attack. If you're having trouble with lag, note the extra fine control over screen refresh - the R button (near top-right) has four levels, one of which (along with mouse control and/or turbo mode and minimal star count) may help reduce problems Scratch has with lag when holding down keys. You could also try switching off (or reducing) your key-repeat rate in system setting/control panels. Different browsers may require different settings to work best, even on the same machine. Control via mouse or keyboard is switched via the little icon on the right (bottom one).
