Android One: The Reactor Run
_Android One: The Reactor Run_ is a horizontally scrolling action shooter
with tile-based graphics. The player must reach and destroy the reactor before
the time runs out. Along the way various aliens are encountered, some of which
can be shot with the android’s laser beam, while others are impervious to fire
and must be avoided. The player will also have to shoot his way through
several brick walls.
The action is divided into individual screens. Once the player reaches the
right edge of the screen, the level scrolls onwards by one screen. A slider in
the bottom of the screen indicates the player’s progress.
Once the player has destroyed the reactor, he must make his way back to the
start point for extra points, this time without a time limit.
The android control scheme differs between the keyboard and the joystick. With
the keyboard, you use left and right keys to rotate the android in 90 degree
steps and forward to move. With the joystick, the android runs in the
direction the joystick is moved.
