.o0 Strider 0o.

🎮 game-off-2015 challenge entry.

The year is 2415. You are Strider. An agent of the rebel forces of Atira and Taristol II. Your mission is to infiltrate the government science facility on the moon Efriador V and extract all the information available about the development of a new war unit called the Spitflyer. You have successfully collected the data required and you now need to head to the extraction point at the top most level of the facility. A transport will be waiting for you to take you to safety.

Good luck!

Fork Info

This is a fork of Ogoshen's Octojump game. It's not a fork of the repo itself, because I already have a game-off-2012 repository and Github does not allow one to have two repos with the same name.

Controls

Make your way to the top by using:

  • 🏃 Arrow keys or WAsD keys to move and jump on platforms.
  • ⬆️ Press Up Arrow or W twice to double jump.
  • 🔫 X, Z or Y - To shoot at the nearest enemy. Your RP-2300 "Warmonger" assault rifle is fully automatic. Just aim it at your target and it will do the rest.
  • :rage1: Press 1 to use overcharge. Trade 1 health for complete energy refill.

It might seem like a hard to play game at the beginning, but it's really not. A couple of hints:

  • Move, move, move. Don't just stay at one place when the enemy shoots at you. Always move, jump and track the enemy projectiles.
  • Save your health and energy powerups for later use. You may always go back down to pick up a powerup left behind.
