ASCIIvader III by CataclysmicKnight
Hey, and thanks for checking out the game!
Controls (main mode):
WASD/arrow keys move
E/ESC/SPACE pause
Shooting happens on its own, in the spirit of minimalism!
--------------------
Controls (survival):
Space: change direction
Player DOES NOT shoot (pure evader game) and will always turn to the right. So if you're moving right and hit space, you'll move down; again and you'll move left, etc.
---------------------
Also, yes, this is the third entry, but I made EVERYTHING from scratch except the couple images that were taken from the other. I even re-did the borders and every line of code! I guess I could have simply retyped the two images in to make them "from scratch" too... The other two games were incredibly short (the original made in one day, the sequel for the Zero-Hour game compo)
Also: YOU WILL DIE!!! It'll happen! Collect money and use it for upgrades, or go back to previous levels and get bonuses too! The point of this game is to be challenging; if you breeze through it, then you must have grown up when video games were crazy difficult ;)
ENJOY!!!!!!!! I HAD A BLAST!!!! :D

Enemy bullets can be kind of hard to see when your ammo starts getting frantic
If I would change one thing though, it'd be to add some kind of animation or something when you get hurt - I kept not noticing!
