CHERRY SHIFT

Shift, Shoot, catch the Cherry

Blast your way to the top of the Highscore List

• Known Issues
• Smart Screen Synch & Cherrytime // Demo Build 0.2.1.0

Retro Arcade Space Action, inspired by "Megaroids" for ATARI ST (©1988, Mike Bunnell & Mitch Bunnell). This game is still in development, some items may be incomplete or not work as intended. Full Release I expect to ship some time in July with these features:

• Play indefinitely (until you or your PC dies)
• Alien Ships
• Saving personal Highscore
• Full-fledged Menu (Buttons 'n stuff)
• Adjustable debris intensity
• Ingame Intel Screen
• 2 additional Musictracks
• Roadmap: optional Roguelite-mode (but don't pin me down on that, lol)

CONTROLS:

• [ARROW UP] --> Boost
• [ARROW LEFT/RIGHT] --> Turn
• [ARROW DOWN] --> Cherry Shift (when ready)
• [SPACE] --> Shoot
• [RETURN] --> Restart (after Game Over)
• [ESC] --> Pause/Quit
• [-/+] --> Tune Music Volume
• [X] --> Screenshot

+10 Points

+30 Points

+100 Points

Increase Fire Power // Overheat transfer +100% // Repeat most recent Points scored

Gain an orbiting Bomb, that explodes on expiration (or whenever a new Bomb activates) // Overheat transfer +50% // Repeat most recent Points scored

Adds to Final Score // On capture, slightly rewinds Combo Timer // Credits are banked after completing a Level

TIPS:

• Hitting targets in rapid succession (or catching Cherries) before the Combo-Timer runs out, racks up an epic Multiplier.
  
• Fill the Score Bar at the bottom right, to gain an extra Ship.
• Rapid fire may overheat your weapon. Seize firing momentarily, to release pressure.
• After a Shift, your first shot within 1.5 seconds launches a No-Scope Rocket. Make it count, for an immediate reset of the Cherry Shift.
