One caveat: You Only Get One Direction.\r\n\r\nTo run, just download the appropriate file for your platform, extract it, and run the midnight_memories executable that's inside the folder. Not exactly complicated.\r\n\r\nCONTROLS\r\n--------\r\nA\/D - Rotate weapons bay clockwise\/counterclockwise.\r\nSpace - Move upward (the only direction you get :P).\r\nArrow Keys - Shoot\r\nX - Teleport back to start position (use it wisely).\r\n\r\nThe goal is to survive for as many waves as possible, before your British boy-band crew faints from lack of oxygen. To do this, you need to defeat the alien menace blocking your path. There are five types of aliens:\r\n\r\n1) White - Normal, run-of-the-mill baddie. Shoot them.\r\n2) Green - Can only be damaged by green shots. (Consequently, they are the only thing green shots do ANY damage to).\r\n3) Red - Through their fiery hatred of humanity, they can burn off excess oxygen. Hitting them with a green shot reduces your remaining time by 100.\r\n4) Blue - These tanky bastards are extremely difficult to kill. Dodongo dislikes smoke.\r\n5) Yellow - Refract lasers into green shots.","title":"Midnight Memories"}
