DevilStar

DevilStar is an homage to classic arcade shooters.

-----

-----

Play as Yui, a recently imprisoned debtor. 
Sentenced to clean up residual munitions left behind by the Second Interplanetary War.
Is the asteroid belt just an old graveyard like they say.
Or are there untold horrors waiting for you?

Modes:

Normal: The standard game, enemy spawns are more evenly spaced, extra lives are easier to earn.

Hard: Enemies will spawn more often, Extra lives are harder to get, 1.5x score multiplier.

Devil: Enemies spawn constantly, movement is key.  2x score multiplier

Survival: Normal difficulty, but the game continues after the boss is killed.

Rush: Faster Survival mode.  Boss spawns super quick, and does not hide at the end of each phase.

Guide:

Bombs are generally the answer to everything.

Gameplay Walkthrough

   - Collect bombs by blowing up asteroids.
   - Once you have a high enough score the Boss will spawn.
   - If you die or the Boss hides, he will respawn after reaching a score threshold.

   - DevilStar has 3 phases.
   * 1: Explosions from bombs will damage him.
   * 2: He will try to eat the player, but will suck in bombs as well.
   * 3: With his armor broken, he will be defenseless against bombs.

Story Spoilers

   - There are two endings to the game.
   - The other ending is alluded to in the default ending.

"10/10 gameplay, (Doesn't have thumbs)
11/10 graphics, (He's blind)
1/10 sound. (Really doesn't like it.)
When do I get paid? (In treats)"
