Controls ---------- - On Screen controls -> GamePad, dig button, cover button. - GamePad MFI compatible (Bluetooth). The Game ------------- Space Crisis is a classic-style arcade platform game where strategy, timing, and quick reflexes are key to survival. In the game, you play as a lone astronaut navigating a multi-level structure filled with platforms and ladders, constantly threatened by waves of hostile alien creatures. Unlike traditional platformers, there is no jumping, instead, you must outsmart enemies by digging temporary holes in the platforms. These traps can be used to capture aliens, who can then be eliminated before they escape. There are three distinct types of enemies: - Warrior, fast and aggressive, to death need one floor impact. - Boss, tougher and more resistant, to death need two floor impact. - Don, the most dangerous of all, combining speed and strength to relentlessly hunt you down, to death need three floor impact. Each type requires a different approach, forcing you to adapt your strategy on the fly. Adding to the challenge, you must also manage your oxygen levels as you explore the structure. Staying too long without planning your movements can be just as deadly as the enemies themselves, making every second count. Each level increases in difficulty, introducing faster and more unpredictable enemies that require careful planning and precise execution. The tension builds as you must manage space, anticipate enemy movement, and avoid being cornered. With its retro-inspired visuals and faithful mechanics, Space Crisis captures the essence of early arcade gaming while offering a challenging and engaging experience that rewards both skill and strategy.
