CONTROLS:

W or Up Arrow : Fire (hold for continuous)

A or Left Arrow  : Fly Left 

D or Right Arrow : Fly Right 

Holding the space bar will allow you to dash with one A or D button press.

(On mobile the controls are an invisible slider the size of the screen. You can tap or slide on the left or right of the screen. Double tap to dash! Touching the screen shoots!)

RULES:

The player has shield that can be taken by enemy and their shots.

The orb has an energy level that is depleted by enemy shots and increased by player shots. If the orb runs out of energy, it dies, and so does the player. (a red-orange orb has low energy, a blue orb has high energy)

If the orb falls to the bottom of the level, the player will die.

POWER UPS:

magenta =spread shot (15 seconds)

green = bullets get faster (15 seconds)

yellow = larger bullets (15 seconds)

orange = impact on ball increases (15 seconds)

red = fire rate increase (15 seconds)

blue = shield +1 

THANKS SO MUCH FOR PLAYING!! :) :) :)
