Highway Encounter (sneak peak)
What is it?
This is a sneak peak at a level I have been working on; Inspired by Highway Encounter; A computer game released on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K, Amstrad CPC, MSX, and Commodore 64 by Vortex Software in 1985. It was written by Costa Panayi
You must successfully chaperone the Lasertron along a long, straight stretch of highway and into the alien base at the end of the it. Along the route are various hazards that threaten to block your progress or destroy you.
What do I need to know?
Controling one Vorton at a time, There are 5 in total; you need to clear a path along the highway using your laser. Your spare Vortons will then push the Lasretron to the alien base. Being careful as your spare Vortons are vulnerable to attack from aliens. If all 4 spare Vortons are destroyed you will have to manually push the lasertron the rest of the way... You can find your own way of playing but I like to block the path of the Lasertron and then scout ahead with your playable Vorton clearing a safe path. Then allowing the rest of the Vortons to push the Lasertron freely.
How do I go it?
Forward and backward motion are made using the left analog stick, while rotation is made using the right analog stick. R1 will fire your laser... But that will overheat if overused. Circle button will change the camera angle and pressing the left stick will provide your Vorton with a speedy boost.
When can I play the full version?
The full version of Highway Encounter is shaping up very nicely indeed - All the technical/logical side is complete only testing, tweaking and a few cosmetic pieces remain.
Highway Encounter only works with 1 player
