I’m calling this one done. Will post a post-mortem (and food!) later.<\/p>\n

Download:<\/strong><\/p>\n

http:\/\/haitaka.googlepages.com\/5parrowhawk_LD14_WallGirl.zip<\/a><\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

(1) You’ll need at least the XNA redistributable to run it. Also, a decent 3D card (anything from the last 4-5 years. Technically Intel GMA should work too!)<\/p>\n

Download: XNA redist<\/a><\/p>\n

(2) During gameplay, Z fires spread shots, X fires laser, Z+X fire missiles.<\/p>\n

(3) The wall circles block enemy bullets of the same colour. Move into the circles and shoot to change the colours.<\/p>\n

(4) When the wall is up and running, C uses your super attack (+ temporary invincibility). When it is offline, C summons it at the cost of one bomb.<\/p>\n

(5) When the game finishes, please press Esc to exit. Didn’t have time to test and debug go-back-to-main-menu, even though the code is half-finished.<\/p>\n

Troubleshooting:<\/strong><\/p>\n

If it doesn’t run even after installing the XNA redistributable, please consult my contest page:<\/p>\n
