"wannabe tempest", for android.
a tempest (80's arcade game) clone/homage.
playable, and fairly true to the original, has many of the screens, though of course not identical.
game summary for those not familiar with tempest:
the player (you) has a crawler, with which you must maneuver around the front of the current level and destroy the enemies coming forward towards you, out of the center of the screen. the enemies are:
exes: x-shaped enemies that fire missiles at you, and will chase you around the front of the board until they catch and kill you, if not destroyed. to kill an ex, hit it with a missile, or fire a missile while it is adjacent to you.
ex pods: purple pods that come at you, which produce two exes when destroyed, or when they reach the front of the level.
spikes: columns sometimes have spikes, which will destroy you if you hit them when clearing a level. spikes also have spinners which fire missiles at you. the spinner will grow the length of the spike, so it's best to kill them.
you also have a "superzapper", which is a special weapon that instantly destroys all exes that are on the board. this zap can be used once per round.
controls:
circular touch motion on the game board controls your crawler, and "fire" and "zap" buttons to fire and zap.
built using android studio.
Shoot X's, pods, and spinners, and fly through space, level to level.
You also have a "superzapper", which is a special weapon that instantly destroys all X's that are on the board. This zap can be used once per round.
Use the "fire" and "zap" buttons to fire and zap. Move your ship by using a circular touch motion on the game board (like the selection wheel on an iPod)...
...OR, slide your thumb up and down the side of the screen, if you don't like the circular motion. Either works.
This was made because...I missed the old school coin-op days, and I wanted to play this classic on my Android devices.
"Like back in the day" -- enjoy.
