"Plane for the Aliens!" is a Danish shoot em' up made with QBasic. You control a spaceship out in space and must fight enemy UFOs. As you battle your way through the levels, the UFOs get harder and harder. Features: Joystick support (can remember the calibration of your favorite joystick); Upgradeable laser that charges faster the more energy left in it; 2 types of bombs with different speed and damage; Bonus points depending on how fast you complete the course; "End-of-level-bad-guy" (a not-for-kids UFO with homing bombs); Vertical scrolling background with stars in 5 layers; 4 types of creatures with different - movement speeds, shot (some are heat-seeking), number of life points; Help function; High score list; Explosions in different sizes and speeds depending on the weapon type; Spaceship/UFO collision detection
Upgradable shield; Declining Bonuses (Full Energy - More Shield - Laser Upgrade). There are also two new things in the game: You can occasionally catch aliens jumping out with a parachute from the spaceships when they explode. You can capture them and exchange them as POWs with the "E" key for 40% extra energy for the starship. If you have captured three aliens (you can't have more in the spaceship) and have the coolest laser (purple), you can get a super laser for all three prisoners by pressing "L". |
