The game basically consists in controlling two scrollable portals using the arrow keys (left\/right for the southern one, and up\/down for the eastern one), and make Hallie travel between them, once you can't control her directly. You need to collect as many stars as you can, and avoid recurrent asteroids that appear. The game ends once your life (i called HP) drops to zero.\r\n\r\n\r\nCONTROLS:\r\nleft\/right arrow keys = move the horizontal portal\r\nup\/down arrow keys = move the vertical portal\r\nspace = pauses the game\r\n\r\nMusic are remixes from Mega Drive's Ristar original soundtrack (as well i inspired on Ristar design to create Hallie). \r\nRemixes by SuperShadow (title theme) and Bizen (stage theme)\r\nNo copyright infringement intended at all.\r\n\r\nWhen you first run the game, there may be a little delay before music starts, because music is downloaded right when the game start. Hope it isn't much annoying.\r\n\r\nI hope you enjoy! (...and don't mind my creepy art skills too XD)\r\n\r\nEDIT: It seems at Level 5, when there are too much asteroids, it becomes pretty impossible to go further, since the star become all unstable due to placing algorhythm","title":"Hallie"}
