--- Instructions ---

¡Greetings! Welcome to The Last Space Wanderer, a small endless vertical scrolling space shooter game for PC and Mobile browsers.

Wander through space, using your laser ray to destroy debris, accumulating energy representing your ship's structural integrity. Your laser depletes under continuous use and replenishes autonomously while left alone. The player has a time-stop ability that can be used but still lacks a game balancing condition (perhaps laser shouldn't replenish during time-stop) nor a cooldown.

------

This is another of those little prototypes I make to explain some point or resolve a technical inquiry from one of my students.  If I recall, correctly I made this to explain how to use positive feedback loops in game design (your HP is both related to how long you avoid to be hit by debris and your accuracy), how to improve the player's perception of its progress by using dynamic layered audio tracks depending on the performance, and how to implement a Bullet Time effect in Construct 2.
