Game:
==========================

"It's finally time for your skills to finally reach its peak use like never before. 

Your help is needed. Cause the most damage you can to our invading enemy forces and set your mark in history

The main leader of the invaders aka "The Boss" can be found anywhere in the world. Mostly likely behind the larger bulk of the invading forces.

We are counting on your abilities to overcome this newfound massive survival threat.

Good luck and godspeed!"

=========================================

Function of your Energy Shield (ES)

=========================================

It absorbs most of the damage you take. It also is required for most of your weapons. CAREFUL: If your ES depletes you will take significantly more damage from enemies.

You can find Health and ES boosters. They drop from specific enemies. The rare ES booster drops from the leader of the invasion. You can use them to significantly boosting your damage by allowing yourself to use your strongest weapons more frequently.

The Health and ES booster both can be consumed for a large amount of instant healing or you can keep them in in your inventory to gain a large increase of your health or your ES.

=========================================

Score:

=========================================

Your score is based on how much pain and damage you inflict on the invading forces. Your income is based on this.

If your ship is wrecked beyond repair you will suffer a large penalty on your previous performance results.

Be very careful with your targeting. Friendly fire exists!
