This game contains a lot of flashing and may cause seizures. The first page of the instructions has the health warning that I shamelessly stole from Sony.

You have infiltrated Dr. Lud Umdare's secret lab. You must find the bomb and dismatle it before the good doctor decides to detonate it and destroy the world!

The suit you are wearing is very special, if you pick up some Quantum Energy Balls you will be able to upgrade some stats as well as the number of bullets the suit will shoot. Press the SPACE BAR to access this upgrade menu. There is one thing I should mention, while you can use these Quantum Energy Balls with the suit there is a cost to so this and it is a percentage of your lifeforce. The good news is the suit will not allow you to use all of your lifeforce if you don't have enough.

I mentioned the suit can attack, where ever your mouse pointer is when you click the left mouse button is where the suit will attack. As you move about the lab you will find robot guards, a special shield to protect you and some salve to heal your lifeforce. You will also find keys hidden in different areas you can use on the locked doors.

Arrow Keys to Move Mouse to aim/ LMB to fire. There is no special crosshair for the mouse pointer. Space to open the upgrade menu.

The flashing yellow graphics are Electric Walls. Touch them and you die. They are a little forgiving in their collision detection though.

Find the 3 colored keys that correspond to the colored doors to open them.

Good Luck and Have fun!

NOTES:

I had a very grand idea for this game and it fell short by a mile, not because the grand idea was too large. In all honestly the idea was very doable in 48 hours. I originally wanted 4 levels with 16 rooms each. To create all of those rooms should have taken me no more than 4-6 hours but I didn't get to make the rooms until 3 hours before the end. I spent WAAAAY to much time figuring out solutions to problems I never should have had and I didn't get them all solved. So I had to cut things. I made one level that has repeat rooms. I only used 1 enemy of the 3 I had made and tested with. Because the game only has 1 level it kind of makes the upgrade menu I made useless, its there and it works though. I was able to get some sounds and music into the game as well as a win and lose screen.

So please enjoy my creation, but know I had planned for something much more entertaining.

Oh and I know I could have switched to the Jam, but I have work in the morning and wouldn't have had the time to work on it. Besides, for me Ludum Dare is the Compo.
