Project-X-stream is a shoot 'em up game developed for Game Boy Color over a span of a few months.

It was released at Bung's 2nd Amateur GameboyTM Format Games Coding Competition (2nd place).

User guide

Blast everything you see. Try to get through all 3 levels and kill the boss at the end of each level.

Collect the (S)peed-ups for a faster ship.

Collect the (p)ower-ups for better weapons.

Here are the powerups:

• Weapon one - The standard shooter.
• Weapon two - A double shooter that has a wider range.
• Weapon Three - The crest wave which can't be stopped by baddies.
• Weapon four - Double Crest Wave.
• Weapon five - Shield (Can be re-charged with every extra power-up).

Advice (you can never get enough):

• Keep fire pressed - It gives the best fire power.
• Keep moving.
• Don't fire when you don't have to (eg. in the asteroid storm).
• The first boss is very easy when you work out how the fireballs attack.
• In the Tunnels its best to keep getting the shield over and over.
• The boss on level 2 can only be destroyed by a powerful ship.

The game is quite hard, but you can complete it once you get used to the levels (practice makes perfect - Or savegame makes perfect).
