Note
enemies and powerups are sorted in order of likeliness of apperence so for example you will see RANDOM ememy 3 times more likely than ACE, same with power ups
Note
enemies give increasing number of points based on there size and type
| type | behavior |
|---|---|
| RANDOM | randomly moves and fires forward speed is 2x in comparison to other directions |
| FLYER | on average faster firerate, moves up and down on screen and shoot providing cover fire for other units |
| GUNNER | this enemy will lock on you ships signature and always stays drectly in front of the player and randomly fire |
| ACE | this enemy will always fire if it sees the player in front of it, also it will attempt to doge player's shots, if not evading player's projectiles, it will attempt to get into fire position |
| BOSS | spawns on every multiple of 5000 points e.g. 5000,10000... Likes to wait until all other ships in the area are destroyed then attacks once he reaches his fireing position, he start using his deflector, but there is hope enemy engineers cheaped out on power supply for the deflector so the pulse itegnity is compromised maybe you could use this to survive his attacks, boss health is allways increased e.g. 1000, 2000, 3000, .... |
Note
powerups generaly last 15s
| visual | type | efect |

2x | increase score multiplier by 2 |
 |
boom | multiply projectile damage by 3 |
 |
3x | increase score multiplier by 3 |
 |

 |
beam | devides fire cooldown by 5 and disables weapon overheat |
 |
5x | increase score multiplier by 5 |
