It's arcade action at its best!

Product Overview

You begin your Combat experience in a staging area. Navigate your tank into the black spheres that serve as your conduit between the worlds. Once you enter a world, your goal is to keep your tank alive until the Exit Portal (also a black sphere) opens. Rack up a high score by picking off the various enemies (human or AI, depending upon the game you are playing).  You will be challenged to avoid your enemies until the portal opens through cunning strategy and mastery of piloting your tank. While you hover around, look for power-ups and opportunities to score big by picking off rocket drones and buzz bombs.

You will start each game with three lives and a full shield charge of 3. Enemy fire and collisions with other vehicles will diminish your shield charge with each hit. If your shield charge goes down to zero, you lose a life. Falling off the level into outer space will also cause you to lose a life.

Your tank is a high-performance hovercraft. It levitates just above the ground and can turn on a dime.

Power-ups help you gain an advantage over your enemies. They include:

• Partial Restore - restores one health point to your tank.
  
  
• Full Restore - restores your tank to full health.
  
  
• 1-Up - gives you an extra life
  
  
• 3-Up - gives you three extra lives.
  
  
• Speed - provides faster acceleration and higher top speed.
  
  
• Shield - makes you invulnerable to enemy fire for a time.
  
  
• Invisibility - prevents enemies from seeing you.
  
  
• Double Shot - enables you to fire two shots (doing twice the damage) at the same time.
  
  
• Triple Shot - enables you to fire three shots (in a fan pattern) at the same time.
  
  
• Bounce Shot - makes your shots bounce off of the world, allowing for bank shots.
  
  
• Smart Bomb - Drive over this to send out an immediate shock wave that damages all nearby enemies.
  
  
• Supergun - supercharges your gun with a projectile that does area damage.
  
  
• Bonus Points - earns you a quick hit of bonus points.
  
  
• Score Multipliers - multiplies your score by the value of this power-up for as long as it is active. (2x, 4x, 8x)

The Combat game features a myriad of enemies. If you don't destroy them, they will try to destroy you! The rule of thumb is simple: If it moves - shoot it! Enemies spawn at a varying rate depending upon your proximity to their generator. Some of the enemies you will encounter during play - but by no means all - include the following:

• Rocket Drone - This is a simple, almost brainless threat. It'll look for you and when it sees you, launch its attack. Once it fires its engine, there is no turning back - and no turning! Thwart it by waiting until it launches and then move out of its path. It will explode upon impact with you, a wall, or another enemy.
  
  
• Buzz Bomb - this enemy flocks near you to pack an explosive collision. It does not explode itself upon collision, but must be destroyed by your tank cannon. It is easy to pick off when alone, but deadly in a group. Look out for its hive!
  
  
• Flyer - The Flyer is an aggressive foe. It will tirelessly seek you out and do its best to destroy you. You'll need to pilot your tank defensively, as well as be a crack shot, to take out this enemy.
  
  
• Hunter - The Hunter is the sniper of the virtual worlds. It's slow to turn and slow to move, but will fire a deadly projectile at you as soon as it has an open shot. It will also attempt to circle you as it shoots for the kill.
  
  
• Small Turret - Small turrets are defensive embankments that don't offer much threat - if you can find them before they find you!
  
  
• Medium Turret - Medium turrets have more protection than the small turrets, thus requiring greater skill in dodging their fire as you attempt to take them out.
