Introduction
In the year XXXX, an astronomer found a planet encrusted with diamonds, and so the Editor went to planet XX. Carrying a map develpoed by Dr. D that was able to reflect anything, the Editor surprisingly encountered a Kage-Godzilla ALIEN…
How to Play
You can move your character, the Editor(
), with the cursor keys. As you dodge Kage(
), observe the right hand map and get the diamonds (the map reflects the Editor, but not Kage).
To grab a diamond, when the Editor shown on the map and the diamond overlap, press the Space key to get it and earn 50 points.
If the Editor is not on top of a diamond and the Space key is pressed, 20 points are lost.
After you get all the diamonds, you clear a round and get 500*(round nº) points.
{Picture 1} The right side is a map. Kage-Godzilla’s coming to attack
{Picture 2} Its speed is high, so be careful!
CHECKER FLAG
Dr. D: This program is short, yet its concept outstands that. Still, the fact we still have works with good ideas fills me with relief!
