Vortex Raider

Vortex Raider is a Warroid clone set against the beautiful yet disturbing scenery of outer Lombardije, a space suburb not far from Gnarf, the restaurant at the end of the Universe.

As Vortex Raider, the player has to search and destroy the enemies of the SYSTEM. This is done by defeating every opponent with a close range space-Kalishnikov hairline action laserbolted riotgun while trying to get some protection from their bullets. To do this, platforms placed all over the screen serve as both support and shield.

Both the player and his opponent have energy levels as seen in the upper right of the screen. Each successful shot from the opponent causes the player to lose energy, with zero energy resulting in one life less. Each time an opponent is eliminated, the player moves on to a successive level with a new enemy base (space or land) as a setting. As the player progresses through levels, things become more and more complicated. The enemy will become faster and, in addition, sometimes he will throw some kind of "mines" at the player that will take away a lot of health.

The balloons give speed or bonus points, the red ones subtract energy and the "pills" slows down the shot. This will effect both the player and its opponents.
