powermanga - shoot-'em-up game
Powermanga is a shoot'em up game; you will have to fight more than
60 different types of enemies.
You start with a ship, and enemies show up throwing bombs at you.
Shoot them, and get better weapons for your ship (otherwise, you won't go
too far!)
To get better weapons, you will have to catch green and red gems.
Whenever you pick a green gem, the highlighted option at the right side of
the screen goes up one unit.
The options are, from the bottom to the top:
- - More speed
- - More energy to your
ship
- If you get out of energy, you lose your ship. Losing your ship means
either going back to the ship you were using before you "upgraded'
it, or dying if you had no previous ship! You can check your energy level
in the little bar at the bottom (the bar at the right is yours; the one at
the left is your enemy's, in case you're fighting a big one)
- - Several options for
different weapons
- - The last option gets you a
better ship
If the current option is "more power to the leftside straight
weapons", for example, you may select it and they will immediately take
effect.
If the current option is already the last, and you pick a green or
red gem, you will go back to the first one (but you will get an extra
side-weapon). Also, whenever you pick an option, the current option goes
back to the first one.
During the game, you will sometimes see gems falling down when an
enemy is destroyed. You may catch those gems:
- - Green gems
- As we said before, makes the current option go up one unit.
- - Red gems
- Similar to the green gem, but it increases 2 units instead of 1.
- - Pink gems
- Gives energy to your ship. If your energy is at the maximum level, this
gem will give you a full blast that destroys all enemies currently on the
screen.
- - Blue gems
- They multiply the score points for each destroyed enemy by 2. If you get
the blue gem again, the score points are multiplied by 4; you can see the
"2x" or "4x" blinking at the sidebar.
- - Yellow gems
- These give you protection balls. If you already have six protection balls
and you get another yellow gem, you will get a special weapon!
When you get a better ship, you will be able to accumulate more
energy, becoming more resistant to attacks. But whenever you
"upgrade" your ship, a few things will happen:
- -
Protection
- You will lose all your protection balls (let's say they're not
"compatible" with your new ship).
- - Weapons
- You will lose one "degree" in your weapons (if you had used
green gems to get the best possible weapon for shooting straight forward,
for example, after upgrading your ship you will have to get one more green
gem if you want your weapons at the maximum power.)
- - Score
- If your score was getting multiplied by 2 or 4, it won't be anymore (go
get more blue gems!)
