Space/Enter – fire main weapons
Shift (hold) – charge up charge weapons
Shieft (release) – fire charge weapons

Future updates include:

How To Use
– Download the file and extract to anywhere handy to you.
– Run the file (opens in a browser, browser must be javascript enabled)

Invader Mini Game

Invaders
Invaders
Invaders

FEATURES
A simple shooter mini game that can be played within Ace with a script call.

The game is designed to be simple. Enemies are random, they shoot random lazors at you. Powerups are random. Slowly during the course of the game the enemies spawn faster and faster until eventually the player will be overrun completely and die. A set time through the game, a reset powerup will spawn. If the player manages to get it, they get another chance at more points as it sets the spawn speed back to the start.

Variables are used for current score and high score which you can use in your game to give your player bonuses for doing well or not.
You’ll need the demo for all the graphics (but feel free to create your own)

NOTE: This is intended to be simple for now. Please don’t ask for add-ons or improvements. I might improve it later but for now, it is what it is.
