If any monster reaches the other side and destroys their target, you will lose. Your main weapon, the railgun, starts with an ammo limit of 100. If you stop firing for a few seconds, the ammo automatically recharges. When your ammo runs out, you'll be able to keep firing at a much slower rate. Allowing your railgun to recharge is most often preferable. Shoot soulspheres to gain bonuses. The soulspheres disappear after a while, so don't let them go to waste. Example bonuses include a temporary ammo boost, increasing your maximum ammo, and speeding up the gun's recharge. Some bonuses directly effect enemies, so it's often better to wait for enemies to arrive on-screen before shooting a soulsphere. Just remember not to wait too long or you'll lose the bonus. There are 20 rounds. Round 19 and 20 are the only ones I've been unable to beat myself. I've come close to beating round 19. Round 20 is very nearly impossible. My high score is 28000. Try to beat it. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is almost impossible if you play with the keyboard, as the railgun doesn't autoaim. Use the mouse. * Copyright / Permissions * Authors may NOT use the contents of this file as a base for modification or reuse.
