- This is FREEWARE/BEERWARE, no registration required.
-
- OBJECT
- ------
- Shoot bubbles and alien ships without getting yourself killed!
- Use the magic bubbles to your advantage.
-
- Your Ship:
- ----------
- Your ship is equiped with a laser cannon, forward and reverse thrusters,
- pivoting thrusters, warp drive and movement dampener. Use the Define
- Keys option off the main menu to determine the keys you want to use. Do
- not use the P key, this is pause. Warp drive will warp you to another
- area on the screen, this is a random area. Warp is a good way to stop
- any uncontrolled movement.
-
- Alien:
- ------
- The alien warps in from another dimension. His only purpose is to
- destroy you. His ship is his weapon, he only needs to touch you with
- his ship to destroy you, he has no other weapons. He is in a phasic
- state, so the bubbles don't affect him. Only your laser cannon can
- destroy him. He can only stay in this dimension for a short time before
- he needs to return to his own. You can identify the aliens dimensional
- warp by the blue flash of the dimensional rip. The alien is a good
- pilot, so if a few laser shots go thru him, you know that he must have
- dodged them. Watch out for his Claymore Stratagy. He may not destroy
- you but sit on your ship and wait for you to move. There is only one
- way to escape this, you must figure it out.
-
-
- Magic Bubble:
- -------------
-
- The magic bubble looks like a small multicolored pulsating bubble. This
- will appear randomly. You cannot shoot it, you must pop it with one of
- the edges of your ship. When popped, a variety of things can happen to
- you which are listed below. The magic bubble only lasts for a finite
- time.
-
- - 5 Extra Lives: You receive 5 extra lives.
- - 1000 Points : You receive 1000 extra points
- - Phasic Shift : You phase into a subdimensional state that enables you
- not to be hit by bubbles, but still vulnerable to alien.
- You become a grey color after a blue aura engulfs you.
- - Bubble Stop : A burst of positive hyperbolic energy causes all the
- bubbles to stop. A white burst of energy in each bubble
- will appear.
- - Bubble Warp : A burst of positive hyperbolic energy causes all bubbles
- to increase their rate of speed exponantially. A red
- burst of energy will appear in each bubble.
- - Shields on : A blue aura will surround you and protect you from any
- bubbles, you just bounce off them. When the shield is
- about to fail, it will turn a brownish color. Watch out
- for those sticky bubbles, nothing a warp won't fix!
- - No Alien Sign: A No-Alien sign will appear and you will not encounter any
- aliens when the sign is visible. The sign will appear in
- the lower right. It doesn't affect aliens that have
- warped into the dimension already.
-
-
- Levels:
- -------
- When you shoot all the bubbles on one level, you will be warped to the
- next level. The aliens speed and the number of bubbles increase.
- You receive an extra life for every level you clear.
