Centered down is the weapons bar.
Gameplay
The goal is of course to reach the end of the stage and to collect items on your way. There are crystals spread all over the area, 10 green, 5 red and 1 blue crystal. You can also free prisoners by collecting their cages. At the end of the stage you will get a rating from 0 to 100 percent depending on your score and how many items you have found.
(In the final game this rating will be important to unlock higher levels and areas)
You can allways pause the game ( and exit it) pressing the key for menu / pause.
Weapons
The game has a weapon system like in Gradius series. Enemies will drop energy spheres randomly. Picking them up will refill some health ( depending on selected difficulty) and move the red mark on the weapons bar. Pressing the key for "choose weapon system" will activate the highlighted weapon system.
You will keep your weapons even if you die.
Weapons:
- Speed Up
rises the speed of the submarine in 2 steps
- Bomb
drops a bomb downwards ( stronger than the standard torpedo)
- Tailgun
fires a torpedo backwards
- Triple Shot
Fires 3 Torpedos forward
- Zodiac
Zodiacs are little drones following your ship, one on the upper side, one below. Each submarine has different zodiacs equipped.
Using the key "switch zodiacs" you can toggle their positions.
- Shield

( for the final game i plan to create different tailguns, spreadshots, etc, which need to get unlocked or bought from NPCs)
Bosses
Included on one path of the demo is a small boss. For beating it, you will get an extra life. In the final game these bosses
will be part of a quest system or give achievements.
