Weapon System

Laser

Unlimited and shoots automatically (Yes, autofire by default ;-)!).

Missiles

Highly destructive and therefore limited with the remaining number of missiles indicated on the GUI's top right (3 missiles are replenished at the start of each round).

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Player Life System

Always remember that ChiChi and his ship are an inseparable team!

Your ship can take two hits without getting destroyed, take a third one and loose a life.

Your ship's damage level is indicated on its body and wings by different textures and colors, changing from green over yellow to red (simply speaking it's a traffic light on your ship ;-)). 

Analogue to the ship's damage level also ChiChi's health is diminishing by each hit indicated by his face at the center of the bottom GUI (anybody remembering Doom® from ID Software ;-)?).

ChiChi's tail icon on the GUI's top left is showing how many lives/ships are left for your potential playthrough. You loose one tail when your ship explodes after taking three hits. 

You can regain one life with each 10k points reached.  

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Score System 

Your High-score is shown at the center of the top GUI

Regular enemy ("The Virus") 400pts

Mine 0pts (your reward is staying alive)

Hints

You have to destroy ALL enemies before warping to the next stage!

Try to dodge enemy fire, otherwise you will die fast!

Take advantage of the enemies' formations and destroy them in a row!

Use your missiles wisely and try to hit an enemy cluster in order to send a bunch of them to hell at once!

Shoot the deadly enemy mines in the last level before they can reach you!

Good luck!
