There is much planet exploring, bot shooting, bomb exploding, lazer wall hacking, sentry gun evading, cat finding fun to be had.
- There are 3 levels, and they each involve you finding your cat and 10 cells for your spaceship. Once this is done, find your spaceship and take of.
- Before every level, there's an interactive asteroid scene. You must shoot the asteroids coming at you during this scene. After getting hit 3 times, you'll arrive at the next planet.
- Each bot takes 1 shot to kill. Apart from Sentry Guns each bot can be killed.
- Every level contains 1-2 guns. The only difference between the guns is the rate of fire and the sound they make, but their effect is still the same.
- Sentry Guns can look through crates and shoot over low walls. They can also kill other bots and shoot bombs.
- Because bombs can blow up almost everything, you can completely change the level structure by blowing everything to kingdom come.
- White crates cannot be moved, but can be shot. You can push black crates, but when you shoot them, they will move forward until they hit a wall. These crates can also kill a bot upon hit. The only exception is a crate on the very start of level 3; it can't be moved or pushed.
- Bots can go anywhere they want except for checkpoints.
- When you die, you spawn at the checkpoint you touched the last.
- When you die, every crate and bomb will reset itself. However, their effect will remain.
- Lazer walls must be deactivated with a computer which is always near it. When you touch a computer, you'll see a code, consisting of 8 numbers, that you must enter within a certain time. When you hit the wrong key, you'll get a time penalty. When you fail to deactivate the lazer wall within time, you die.
Medals
Here's a list with the medals. I hope you don't mind me saying that these medal names are the best I've ever seen. :)
Hack any planets first lazer wall without failing
Be quick! M41-A (5 points)
Kill all bots on any level
Speaks for itself. You are allowed to use the Sentry Guns to kill bots as well. Remember that you don't have a gun right when you enter a level, so when you pick it up you might have to go back to shoot any bots you've already passed. Atari wouldn't like it (10 points)
Destroy 30 asteroids during the story sequences
This isn't that hard if you watch out where you go. You should be able to get this during the second sequence. Remeber that there's also a squence after level 3. Autopilot to LV-426 (10 points)
Complete Planet 1
Obvious. Express Elevator to Hell (10 points)
Complete Planet 2
Obvious. Farewell Sulaco (10 points)
Complete Planet 3
Also obvious. Eric and the Floaters (25 points)
Destroy 20 bots using only bombs
This is the easiest to do on level 2. I'll go out there (25 points)
Bomb your way to the secret area on Planet 2
At Planet 2, there's ome sort of block puzzle. Behind it is an island with a gun on it. The secret area is underneath that island. You're gonna have to use a lot of bombs to get through the mud. Pacifist (25 points)
Finish any level and keep ALL bots alive
This medal is broken. The author states the bug is fixed, but that is not true. Faster than a UD4L Cheyenne (50 points)
Complete the game in under 20 mins in one sitting
You're gonna have the biggest problem here with level 3, since it contains a boss and an area with a load of Sentry Guns. You gotta make sure that you finish level 1 and 2 quickly to give you some more time for level 3. Also don't waste any time on the story sequences. You'll get this medal when you start the last sequence. We love you guys (5 points, secret)
..........
This medal is gotten after beating the game. Make the astronaut stare at his cat flying away for a very long time (you'll get the medal when the time is over).
