The Space Screen

When you first begin the game, you are in space. This game universe consists of three planets, which contain most of the content of the game.
This is your navigational chart. The small box represents the space occupied by your ship. The red dots are the enemy ships. If any enemy ship hits you, you go back to the center of the space map. The big circles are the planets to visit during the game.

Controls in the Space Screen

Arrow keys: Move the Ship
X key: Fire Laser
SPACEBAR: Dock on Planet (when it says "DOCKING READY" or some other message)

The Game Screen

This is where most of the game takes place, on planets. In this screen seen here, bump into the ship with your character to go back to the space screen.

The Stat Bar

The green bar seen here is your HP. If you have full HP, it will be bright green. When your HP changes gradually, so does the color. To the right of it is your current amount of coins, used to spend on items or other events.

Interacting with NPCS

This game has been programmed so that anything with an NPC script code is considered an NPC, even if it's just a treasure chest.

Sometimes in the game, there are choices to make. Just like in the main menu, move the cursor with the up and down arrow keys to your choice, then press SPACE.

If during an NPC script you receive a piece of inventory, find a spot to place it in with the arrow keys and press SPACE. You can combine like items into one slot. If nothing fits, press "Q" to give up.

Controls in the Game Screen

Arrow keys: Move the player
Z key: Pull up the Iventory screen
Shift key: Pull up the Game Menu
Q key (several times): Exit the game immediately

More on the Inventory Screen

You can press SPACE to activate a piece of inventory. If nothing happens, then that means that it cannot be used at that time (for example, you can't use Guaranola on the main screen.)

The Game Menu

The current options that have been programmed are:

Continue Game: Continues your game.
Status: Gives you your status. Press any key to return to the menu.
Options: There are no options in this game that I could think of.
Save Game: Saves your game at that exact spot.
Quit Game Returns you to the main menu.

Battles

There are times when you will encounter a random battle. When this happens, your character will blink and you will be transported to the battle arena where you will meet your opponent. You will see your HP and SP during the fight and an approximation of your enemy's HP.

When it's your turn to fight, here are the options available to you:

Blaster: Fires your main weapon.
Special Weapon: You use a special weapon, which uses Stamina Points (SP).
Item: You use an item. Your inventory screen will pop up, prompting you to choose an item.
Rest: You rest your turn and gain HP.
Run Away: You try to escape. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's best if you have full HP when you want to run from battle, thus increasing your chances of success.

If you reduce your enemy's HP to 0, you win the battle and the experience and coin spoils to go with it.

Blaster Damage Formula

When you use your blaster, you give damage based on a few variables, including a random chance variable called "attchance". This value is an integer from 1 to the sum of your attack points and your enemy's defense points.

The equation used to calculate the inital damage is the following:

Your attack points - (attchance / 2)

The last factor to be considered when calculating the final damage done to your opponent is your accuracy points. There is also a random integer here, from 1 to 100. This table shows how much final damage is done:

Lowest random integer	Highest random integer	Damage done
1	75% of your accracy points	100% of initial damage points
1+ 75% of your accuracy points	100% of your accuracy points	75% of initial damage points
1+ 100% of your accuracy points	The average of your accuracy points and 100	50% of initial damage points
1+ The average of your accuracy points and 100	100	Miss

Items you can use

Image	Item Name	Where can you use it?	What does it do?
	Guaranola	In-Battle Only	Triples your attack points for this battle.
	iShield	In-Battle Only	Triples your defense points for this battle.
	Fireworks	In-Battle Only	Distracts enemy for two turns.
	Light Show	In-Battle Only	Distracts enemy for three turns.
	Glasses	In-Battle Only	Gives you 100% accuracy in current battle.
	Ade	Anywhere	Restores 25HP.
	Muscle Patch	Anywhere	Restores 25SP.
	Repellant	Field Only	Repels enemies for 60 seconds.

Enemy Attacks

Depending on what three attacks the enemy will use, they have the following to choose from:

Attack Name	Description	Effects
Tackle	The enemy tackles you.	Normal Attack
Green Laser	The enemy fires a green laser at you.	50% Attack Boost
Yellow Laser	The enemy fires a yellow laser at you.	25% Attack Boost
Yo-Yo	The enemy throws a yo-yo at you.	65% Attack Boost
Lightning	The enemy fires lightning at you.	Double Attack
Heal	The enemy heals itself.	50% of enemy's current HP is restored.
Stomp	The enemy jumps, causing the earth to quake.	60% Attack Boost

Enemy Damage Formula

The attchance variable is also used here to determine how much damage is done. This as an integer value between one and the sum of your defense points and your enemy's attack points.

Your enemy's attack power is thus:

(your enemy's attack points - ((attchance / 2))*attack boost)

Your enemy's accuracy is the final determinant of damage your enemy does to you. A random integer from 1 to 100 determine's the final damage:

Lowest random integer	Highest random integer	Damage done
1	Enemy's accuracy points	100% of initial damage points
1+ enemy's accuracy points	The average of enemy's accuracy points and 100	50% of initial damage points
1+ The average of enemy's accuracy points and 100	100	Miss
