Product Information
Alpha Mission II is a standard 2D vertical scrolling shooter with a great deal of depth for two players moving vertically up the screen boards shooting anything that moves. Use regular shots to hit the air-based enemy targets, and missiles for ground-based, choosing from one of two control-methods. The first uses separate buttons for laser and missile shots, while the second combines then into one button, assigning the second button to armor attack. In both schemes, a third button opens the menu. <br><br>Alpha Mission II's depth is in its power-up system allowing gamers to collect power panels that increase speed, and laser or missile power, with an additional power panel for getting gold. Some panels can restore partial or full energy when in armor, with a corresponding upside down energy drain panel, while other panels can take armor away, keep armor energy at full until the player loses a life, and warp players ahead or back. Upside-down power panels decrease the appropriate attribute,<br><br>Eleven armor types, each with a special attack that drains a portion of the power bar, equip your ships with added firepower. If the power bar totally depletes, the armor falls off the player ship. Use your gold to purchase armor between levels, or pick up three armor icons in sequence during the stages to earn that type of armor.Product Identifiers
