You can just keep moving left-right non stop, while presing space very fast, and no mine will escape your barrier of shots.

Watch out for his smart attack-mines.\r\nSteer with 'A' and 'D', fire laser shots with the spacebar.\r\nIf any mine will get away they can inform the HQ and request\r\nreinforcement. For every 10th mine that gets away another is added to the reinforcement pool.\r\n\r\nI wished I had time to make some awesome soundtrack to this. \r\nI recommend you listen to some Lazerhawk or something like that to get the ambience down. \r\n\r\n\r\nIn my opinion minimalism is doing, just enough, to convey a feeling or a certain effect.\r\n\r\n\r\nPS. The game is written with slick2d and java. It should function on all the three os. (Windows, Linux, Mac)\r\nAnd it's written for the JRE7, so you'll need that.<\/p>","title":"Vectron's Revenge"}
