Dragonfire - Quest for Helmet of Justice 4. Pitfall 2 - Quest for Cup that heals ** LYSOROIDS ** Creator 2003 LYSOZYME - Tweak by RLG 2018 - Music, sounds, graphics, mechanics and difficulty This is a knock-off of the legendary arcade game Asteroids, with a few twists of my own :) CONTROLS R/L arrows   - Turn ship Up arrow     - Thrust ship Z            - Fire X            - Shields C            - Superbomb P            - Pause game ESC          - Quit (but why?) SHIP Hold thrust to move. Release thrust and your ship will coast to a stop. When the ship is flashing at the start of levels and after being destroyed, you are invulnerable (though only for 2-3 seconds!). Bonus ship every 25,000 points (max of 9 ships at a time). SHIELDS Can only be on for up to 2 seconds at a time, and need an equal time off to "recharge". Keep them up for longer than 2 seconds and your ship explodes! While up, nothing can harm you, except the mighty Superbomb. FIRE Unlimited. Fire away! SUPERBOMBS When released, they glide slowly in a straight line, and detonate when they run into something or after a short interval. The explosion is a spreading fireball, incinerating everthing it consumes, including you if you're not fast enough (even with your shields up!). Extra superbomb every 30,000 pts. Asteroids and enemies destroyed by the superbomb will give you TRIPLE points! ENEMIES ASTEROIDS They're just rocks, but can pulverize you. They drift and tumble through space mindlessly and come in three sizes. Large rocks split into 2 medium rocks, and medium rocks into 2 small rocks. Large and medium rocks may take more than one hit to break up! SAUCERS Come in large and small sizes, and track you relentlessly. The large saucer is slow, but shoots fast and takes multiple hits to destroy. The small saucer is quick, but shoots less and takes only a few hits. They first appear at level 3. SEEKERS Are guided missiles which home in on your ship. Shields will protect you. Shoot them before they reach you (one hit destroys them). They make their debut at level 5. SCORING Large asteroid  - 50 pts Medium asteroid - 100 pts Small asteroid  - 200 pts Large saucer    - 2000 pts Small saucer    - 1000 pts Seeker          - 1200 pts Enjoy!
