Battleteria

Based on the classic Amiga public domain shooter Microbes, Battleteria is a Pico 8 rotator shoot-em-up in the style of games like Tempest and Black Widow.

The Space Replicants have taken over the universe, and our Solar System is it's latest target! Fly your space craft beyond Jupiter to cut off the replicants beyond the asteroid belt. The fate of the solar system depends on you!

Features

• 50 Levels.
• 12 different enemies.
• Two different game modes.
• High score tables.
• Music (that you can toggle off).
• Multiple endings.

How to play

Shoot all the enemies to advance in a level. Avoid getting shot or having the Space Replicants take over the screen!

•    - move spacecraft around the play area
•  (mapped to X/C on browser) - straight shot
•  (mapped to Z/V on browser) - spread shot

There are two game modes which you can play too.

•  Normal Mode (new game) is your standard high score chase. You have three lives to complete all 50 levels. Extra lives are awarded after 10,000 points.
• Time Attack - complete all 50 levels as fast as you can. Infinite lives, and you can't have the Space Replicants take over the screen, however both slow you down.

Also on some levels are walls, they are super high defensive units, but don't need to be destroyed to finish the wave.
