Arkadia

Genre : horizontal 2D html shooter.
Levels : 8 ( each with an enemy with different characteristics ).
You can play this game for free via browser.
The game is in html5 format and weighs approximately 4 MB.

In this game you have to fight with Arcadia.
It has a lot of energy ( yellow bar at the bottom ), which however it decreases if the ship is hit or simply every time you shoot.
There are some bonuses that if collected will give you benefits :
Energetic : recharges the energy of the Arcadia;
Barrier : creates a temporary special barrier, which will protect you from enemies. from any blow resulting from enemies; It is possible to use the barrier as a weapon, clashing with enemies.
Rochet : once collected it will allow you to fire a guided missile. If collected 2 consecutive times it will allow you to fire 2 missiles; The missiles destroy opponents with a single shot except the final boss present in the sun level.... here the missile is comparable to a simple shot.
Lives : allows you to have an extra spare spacecraft;

You can move the spaceship with the directional arrows :

⬅   ➡   ⬆   ⬇


Shoot by pressing or holding Space ( decreases energy ).
Press F11 to play in full screen ( recommended ).

Other information

Graphically I took almost everything from the internet and subsequently adapted it to the game... except the UFOs which I created, starting from the 2nd level.

I tested it with a PC running XP, on Firefox, Opera (13 FPS), Chrome (15 fps);
I also tested it on a 12" notebook with Seven, on Opera... everything ok but I had 20 FPS which made the game more beautiful to play but also quite more difficult. I therefore imagine that if your PC has too many FPS, playing it becomes more difficult.

The resolution of the game, or rather of the canvas, is 800x600; So even if you view the game on a larger page, keep in mind that the Arcadia spacecraft can only move within this area.
In my 12" notebook with 1024X600 pixel resolution, the game page in the browser is less than 600 pixels (thus making the scrolling bar of the page appear). Enough though press F11 so that the game page becomes fullscreen. I therefore recommend switching to FullScreen by pressing F11 (it works on all browsers).

• There are only 2 pieces of music, so as not to make the game even heavier. And 19 FX sounds;
• Production time approximately one month.
• At the end of the game I preferred not to add the ranking.
• The Venus level is the ugliest :|
• Sometimes it can happen that the game doesn't load properly on the first page... usually the sounds. So if the game doesn't work, reload the main page. It may also work without hearing some sounds. I noticed that Firefox displays more FPS than other browsers, but the sounds were not audible well; It happened to me on the notebook, when going from one level to another, that a sound disappeared.
• Difficult, even if I have simplified it now;
• Repetitive and levels too similar;
• Few levels, but for the web in my opinion they are enough.
• Collisions are not precise and therefore sometimes you can die just by being too close to a UFO.
