Needs another 2 seconds for cooldown.\r\n\r\nDetailed instructions below, if you prefer to discover the game mechanics by yourself stop reading and go play it now!\r\n\r\n-Stage 1:\r\n\r\nAvoid getting hit by the enemies or their bullets, or destroy them with your higher firepower! You are equiped with a jetpack (allow you to move left and right), a reflector (sends back enemy bullets, but doesn't protect you from colliding against enemies) and a cannon gun (allows you to shoot). You have also a shield that regenerates over time (the blue bar on the left).\r\n\r\n-Stage 2:\r\n\r\nThat previous stage was very easy so you discard both the jetpack (now you can only move up and down) and the regenerating shield, but you still have your cannon gun and your reflector.\r\n\r\n-Stage 3:\r\n\r\nNow you are only equiped with the reflector, so use it carefully and avoid as many enemies as you can.\r\n\r\n-Stage 4:\r\n\r\n11-points match of Pong against the boss of each level. The winner gets all the glory.\r\n\r\nEnjoy!\r\n\r\n---------------\r\n\r\nThis game was made in Unity from scratch for the 72h Jam by Red Little House Studios (www.redlittlehousestudios.com).\r\n\r\n---------------\r\nMusic credits:\r\n\r\n'Antiquated Machinations' by Mucky88\r\nhttp:\/\/www.newgrounds.com\/audio\/listen\/427639\r\n\r\n'Cosmos' by TheOnlyFool\r\nhttp:\/\/www.newgrounds.com\/audio\/listen\/502153\r\n\r\n'Wizard Dance' by Murcielago1\r\nhttp:\/\/www.newgrounds.com\/audio\/listen\/291191\r\n\r\n'Atari Rockout (ver.1)' by The-Evil-Clown\r\nhttp:\/\/www.newgrounds.com\/audio\/listen\/275079<\/p>","title":"Paddlewhite"}
