Vortex Invader
mission
rocket into the spiraling vortex
face and destroy the cosmic horrors living inside it
restore peace to the galaxy once and for all
controls
leftright - move your ship in a circle around the vortex
updown - get closer into or farther away from the vortex
z - shoot your weapon, hold for auto-fire and to make your ship move slower
tips
movement of your ship is vortex-relative, it helps to stay on the bottom part of the vortex to not make movement confusing
try to stay as far away from the vortex as possible
try to only move sideways most of the time, sometimes it's even better to move slowly (by holding fire) or even to not move at all
you'll die a lot, but you have infinite lives, the only punishment is the time delay of your next ship to arrive
try to kill the enemies as fast as possible to get further into the vortex
Feel free to add any comments, suggestions, bugs, etc. below. I'm interested in hearing what you think about the game in terms of: difficulty, controls, pacing, length, etc.
Update 1.01: After playing the game on the GameShell, I noticed the hud was really hard to read so I made it brighter and auto-hide when the player ship is close.
