Moonstruck Mackerel is a retro-style 2D platformer game with both horizontal and vertical scrolling. Play as an amphibious walking mackerel, and rid the kingdom of the invading robots! Explore underwater rooms, gardens, castles, and cloud caves. Fight your way from the ground to the sky, and reach the moon at the end of each level! Destroy the robot factory and save the kingdom! * Shoot water bullets on land, after being in the water. * Shoot air bullets in the water, after being on land. * Land and air robots cannot become wet. You can destroy them with water. * Underwater robots cannot leave the water. You can destroy them with air. * You regain a health point with either 10 gems or 1 large gem. * Strategically sacrifice a health point to save a bullet for later, then refuel with gems as soon as possible. * Strategically ration your bullets, and plan where to refuel air or water. * If you lose all your health points, you automatically teleport back to the start of the level, without losing progress. * You have infinite lives, but your number of attempts is incremented each time you restart a level, automatically or manually. * You can manually teleport to the start of a level without losing progress. This is useful when you don't want to backtrack from a dead end, or just as a fun way to escape the robots.
