Directions:
- Sorry you can't scroll with the wheel - that's for changing weapons.
- You can also change weapons with numbers 1 through 5 (once you have bought the weapon)
- Shoot the ball things, obviously. Head takes more damage, a shot straight through the body and head takes even more.
- Up/down keys move up and down, respectively. Left/right does bugger-all.
- There is a boss on level 5. Be warned.
- Tip: Scrolling is slow (you need to wait for each weapon to reload). Numbers are direct.
- If you get question marks (or boxes) instead of dots, set your browser to auto-detect encoding (View->Encoding->Western European (Windows) in the offending browser)
- Have fun, and explore the site if you feel like browing.
About the game
A game for dedicated to every agitated, possessive patio-dweller waiting to lash out at any absent-minded walkers who dare to flatten a blade of beautifully cut lawn. Lock and load here for stress relief.
Technical
Well, this time I thought I'd just about abandon Microsoft's cumbersome, sadomasochistic VML, because that thing is PAINFUL to work with, Instead, I used an ASCII bullet point per circle, encapsulated in a div tag. Pure canvas for Firefox (+others), naturally, because the kind folks at Mozilla aren't quite so sadistic. Still had to use VML for all IE lines, though. The bomb gave me problems... especially when combined with compensating for various framerates (the script automagically determines your framerate and compensates in the game's speed). Don't know if I ironed out all the problems, but hey – that's life.
