Looking for something new to play? Try out my latest game here: https://chillaxegames.itch.io/outage ------------------------------ [ READ BELOW (it's important) ] You play as a robot, running on a mantelpiece, firing lightning bolts at flying saucers, whilst electro swing music plays in the background... And, yes, the clock on the mantelpiece does show the actual time - a pointless detail, I know :) Everything but the music and TV static was created by myself using Scratch 3.0 - Arrow Keys or WASD to move / jump - Space / Click to fire - Destroy flying saucers to gain points - Collect boxes to earn pickups. There are 3 types: - Health > restores 20% of your life - Rapid Fire > doubles fire rate for 15 seconds - Radio Tower > emits destructive blast that heavily damages your enemies - Run to the left edge of the screen to teleport to the right edge, and vice versa. - Survive as long as possible, and try to become the record holder! ------------------------------ CURRENT HIGH SCORE : 419 Achieved by : @OoAZULAoO MY PERSONAL BEST : 1497 (I have the advantage of being the developer of the game, so my results don't count towards the high score! My score was obtained on 24/08/2023) If this information is outdated, let me know! New Scratchers CANNOT set a new record, due to how cloud variables work. No, I will not change it based on your word :) ------------------------------ ENEMY TYPES: - Gold Saucers : these are your most basic enemy, they fire straight down (2 health) - Green Saucers : these enemies fire directly at you, so watch out for their bullets - especially when you get to higher scores (3 health) - Pink Saucers : this enemy type fires a bright pink beam up from beneath you. Keep your ears open for their warning sound (10 health) - Blockers : these appear much later in the game. These come up at either edge of the screen to penalise you whenever you try to teleport from one side of the map to the other (unlimited health) ------------------------------ TIPS: - Defeating any saucer: Flying saucers cannot be damaged by hitting their gun. You must aim for the body! - Taking on pink saucers: Despite what your instincts may tell you, don't focus on the pink saucer whenever it appears. Since it appears below you, aiming for it allows green and yellow saucers to spawn freely above you. Instead, wait until you next pick up a Radio Tower power-up - this will keep the skies clear, and give you several seconds in which to target the pink saucer! ------------------------------ CREDITS: Programming: @Chillaxe Art: @Chillaxe Music: I don't know where I got the main menu music from. The fighting music is 'Dragons' by Caravan Palace. Sound Effects: Scratch Library, plus 1 or 2 that came from what I could find in my files. ------------------------------ UPDATE LOG [ Current Version > v.1.1.7 ]: [07/08/20] v.1.0.0 - Game released [07/08/20] v.1.1.0 - Day 1 updates and bug fixes [08/08/20] v.1.1.1 - Doubled pickup spawn rates after certain scores have been reached [08/08/20] v.1.1.2 - Made blockers spawn slightly later [09/08/20] v.1.1.3 - Walk animation now plays with WASD controls [26/08/20] v.1.1.4 - Added red ring to celebrate curation [16/09/20] v.1.1.5 - Added logo on start-up [06/12/20] v.1.1.6 - High score system now shows who has matched (but not beaten) the global high score [08/09/22] v.1.1.7 - Code refactoring and optimisation ------------------------------ TAGS: #shooter #alien #chillaxe #ufo #saucer #robot #surreal #vintage #old #2020 #dodging #arcade #survival
