Instructions

Objective: Survive as long as possible, collect stars, and achieve the highest score while avoiding planets and a relentless enemy ship.

Gameplay:

1. Movement:
   • Use the Arrow Keys or WASD to control your ship's movement.
     • Up/W: Move forward.
     • Down/S: Move backward.
     • Left/A: Turn left.
     • Right/D: Turn right.
     • If no arrow is pressed, your ship will face up.
2. Gravity:
   • Green Planets: Pull you towards them. Use their gravity to your advantage, but be careful not to crash!
   • Red Planets: Push you away. Use them to alter your trajectory or escape tight spots.
   • Enemy Ship: The enemy ship will not push or pull you.
3. Stars:
   • White Stars: Collect these to increase your score.
4. Enemy Ship:
   • A red enemy ship will chase you throughout the game.
   • It will fire yellow bullets at you.
   • Getting hit by bullets depletes your health.
   • If you crash into the enemy ship you die.
   • The number of shots it takes to defeat you depends on the difficulty setting.
5. Health:
   • Your health is displayed in the top-right corner as a green bar.
   • When your health reaches zero, the game is over.
6. Difficulty:
   • Before starting the game, use the difficulty slider to adjust the challenge:
     • Easy (Left): Fewer planets, weaker gravity, slower enemy, more health.
     • Hard (Right): More planets, stronger gravity, faster enemy, less health.
   • The difficulty also affects the number of shots needed to deplete your health and enemy speed.
7. Volume:
   • Adjust the background music volume using the slider on the landing page.
     • Leftmost: Mute.
     • Rightmost: Full volume.
8. Teleportation:
   • If you fly off-screen, you'll reappear on the opposite side of the screen.
9. Game Over:
   • The game ends when your health reaches zero (hit by too many bullets or crash into the enemy ship) or if you collide with a planet.
   • Your score will be displayed, and you can choose to play again.
   • Your best score is saved and displayed on the landing page.

Tips for Success:

• Use the planets' gravity to slingshot yourself around the map.
• Learn to anticipate the enemy ship's movements and bullet trajectory.
• Practice makes perfect! The more you play, the better you'll become at navigating the challenging environment.

Have fun and good luck in the Starfall!
