9 powermanga [OPTIONS]
10
12 Powermanga is a shoot'em up game; you will have to fight more than 60
13 different types of enemies.
14 You start with a ship, and enemies show up throwing bombs at you.
16 Shoot them, and get better weapons for your ship (otherwise, you won't
17 go too far!)
18 To get better weapons, you will have to catch green and red gems.
20 Whenever you pick a green gem, the highlighted option at the right side
21 of the screen goes up one unit.
22 The options are, from the bottom to the top:
24 - More speed
26 - More energy to your ship
28 If you get out of energy, you lose your ship. Losing your ship
29 means either going back to the ship you were using before you
30 "upgraded' it, or dying if you had no previous ship! You can
31 check your energy level in the little bar at the bottom (the bar
32 at the right is yours; the one at the left is your enemy's, in
33 case you're fighting a big one)
34 - Several options for different weapons
36 - The last option gets you a better ship
38 If the current option is "more power to the leftside straight weapons",
40 for example, you may select it and they will immediately take effect.
41 If the current option is already the last, and you pick a green or red
43 gem, you will go back to the first one (but you will get an extra
44 side-weapon). Also, whenever you pick an option, the current option
45 goes back to the first one.
46
48 During the game, you will sometimes see gems falling down when an enemy
49 is destroyed. You may catch those gems:
50 - Green gems
52 As we said before, makes the current option go up one unit.
53 - Red gems
55 Similar to the green gem, but it increases 2 units instead of 1.
56 - Pink gems
58 Gives energy to your ship. If your energy is at the maximum
59 level, this gem will give you a full blast that destroys all
60 enemies currently on the screen.
61 - Blue gems
63 They multiply the score points for each destroyed enemy by 2. If
64 you get the blue gem again, the score points are multiplied by
65 4; you can see the "2x" or "4x" blinking at the sidebar.
66 - Yellow gems
68 These give you protection balls. If you already have six protec‐
69 tion balls and you get another yellow gem, you will get a spe‐
70 cial weapon!
71
73 When you get a better ship, you will be able to accumulate more energy,
74 becoming more resistant to attacks. But whenever you "upgrade" your
75 ship, a few things will happen:
76 - Protection
78 You will lose all your protection balls (let's say they're not
79 "compatible" with your new ship).
80 - Weapons
82 You will lose one "degree" in your weapons (if you had used
83 green gems to get the best possible weapon for shooting straight
84 forward, for example, after upgrading your ship you will have to
85 get one more green gem if you want your weapons at the maximum
86 power.)
87 - Score
89 If your score was getting multiplied by 2 or 4, it won't be any‐
90 more (go get more blue gems!)
