OVERVIEW Alpha Strike Deluxe is a shoot-em-up in the classic NES style. Shoot your way through 5 levels, destroy everything that moves and save the world from danger. It's a remake of my 2016 game Alpha Strike (available in the Adrian Makes Games Collection), now with better code, silky smooth 60FPS and swanky graphical effects! WHAT WAS CHANGED? - no more grid! Every object in the game moves smoothly and isn't bound to the grid now! - separate scores and lives for both players! - graphical improvements! New sprites for all enemies, some terrain sprites, and swanky graphical effects like trails and explosions! No more 8x8 explosions and tiny spaceship trails! - balance fixes! The difficulty curve is now smoother and the game is a bit easier (but not too easy!) - that new-fangled fancy 60FPS thing you apparently wanted! Back in the 90s, everyone was happy with 30FPS and no one complained! CONTROLS Pico-8 D-Pad/arrow keys - move ship Pico-8 (X) button/X key - shoot bullets TIPS Every 10000 points net you an extra life. Collect powerups to enhance your weapon. When you die, you lose your weapon. When you get a game over, you can use one of the two continues you have. CHANGELOG 1.0 - initial public release CREDITS (CC) 2019 Adrian Makes Games.
