There will be updates to fix any found glitches. Add-on's will be added later on, as well as some new power-ups. Play as Ruby and shoot fireballs at the Centipeedle. Use the up and down arrow keys to move, and press space to launch the fireball. Don't let them get past you, or else you lose health. Run out of health and you lose. There is a boss battle at the end, and you can press the right arrow key to use your shield. If you hit a Crystal Shrimp, you will regain health. In the bottom left corner, you will see the Super Gage. This bar slowly fills as you play, and when it fills, you can press C to activate your support. You can only use support three times, and then it no longer fills. Be sure to record your best score and star count in the comments. Also, try to beat my best score. So far, it is 7,735 with 3 stars. The most important thing to remember, have fun~ :) Power-Ups There are currently 6 power-ups in the game so far. Fire Pillar is a green token with a flame on it. When you collect this power-up, a fire stream shoots down and wipes out all enemies on screen. It also does decent damage to the boss. Barrier is an orange token with blue and red crescents. This power-up prevents you from taking damage for 15 seconds. You will also not take damage on the boss battle. Though this power-up prevents damage, you do not gain any points when an enemy hit's the barrier. Health Packet is a light blue token with a red cross. This replaces the previous Healing Token that would appear twice during the boss battle. If you obtain this power-up during normal play, it heals 75 health. If you obtain it during the boss battle, it heals 180 health. Large Fireball is a red token with a fireball and blue arrow pointing upwards. This power-up increases the size of the fireball to 200% for 10 seconds. Speed Increase is a white token with a feather and green arrow pointing up. Obtaining this power-up increases Ruby's speed to move twice as fast for 10 seconds. Electric Blast is a blue token with a yellow lightning bolt. This power-up changes the fireball into a sphere of electricity. When you fire, you send out large jolts of electricity. These electric jolts will give you almost double the points, and do almost double the damage against the boss. This ability lasts 15 seconds. Supports Sapphire: Ice Comet-- Sapphire's support ability is Ice Comet. This support launches a large ball of ice in a diagonal direction across the screen 5 times. Can be used only 3 times. (Is more effective against the boss) Amethyst: Whip Flurry-- Amethyst's support ability is Whip Flurry. With this support, Amethyst slashes her whip at the centipeedle, covering a large amount of area for a few seconds. Can only be used 3 times. (Is more effective against hoards) Steven: Shield Throw - Steven's support ability is Shield Throw. With this support, Steven tosses his shield onto the battle field. The shield will bounce around for a few seconds, destroying any enemies in it's path.Can be used 3 times. (Is neutral) Pearl: Spear Throw - Pearl's support ability is spear throw. Upon choosing Pearl as your support, an aqua dot will follow the mouse pointer. When you activate the support, Pearl's spear will appear on screen. You will aim it with the mouse, and click the screen to fire the spear. This support is best for taking out hoards of enemies.
