Shepherd is a very simple shooter arcade game that consists of 5 levels.
Controls:
Your ship follows the mouse (i.e. wherever your mouse is the ship attempts to move to.) Mouse button fires weapon. Command-Q quits, Command-P pauses, and Command-A aborts current game.
Along the way you may see special items, shoot them to "power up" included are:
Extra lives
Shields (protects you from one hit.)
Double fire (gives you twice the fire power)
Rapid Fire
Speed (doubles the speed that your ship can move)
With the exception of Shields and Lives each extra can only be obtained once, if you get the item again it will do you no good.
Version History:
1.1.S (3/94)
Smaller version for uploading
Removed a bunch of the larger sounds and all but the first background scene (the last version had a background for each of the five levels.) This decreased the size to about 30% of the original size.
1.0
Original version
Bugs or problems:
When I wrote this back in May '93 I didn't know much about the sound manager, so the sounds may pile up (i.e. if you pickup a weapon and kill a couple bad guys you may hear explosions after the fact.)
Sometimes there are left overs or ships that get stuck to the background, it's just messy programming that's all. ;>
