VALLATION - ESCAPE THE PIRATE PLANET
====================================

‘Vallation’ is a maze game set in space. In it you’re flying your 
little spaceship through an enemy complex and trying to escape 
while trying to avoid getting shot by enemies, colliding with 
missiles or cut in half by the laser barriers. Only the brave 
need apply.

Like so many other of my games this is a remake – a Cybernoid 
style game that has the player attempting to escape from a space 
pirate base whilst taking out as many of the vile enemy scum as 
you can. The original C64 game was made by Jason Kelk aka. Cosine, 
for the RGCD C64 Cartridge Development Competition 2013 and I 
immediately wanted to make a Spectrum version of it…and here it 
is. :)

This version has shooting enemies (not present in the C64 version) 
and 30 screens more than the original version.

Gameplay description:
Your mission is to escape the pirate planet. Move through 101 
screens spread over 4 levels and see if you can find the way 
out. Mind the missiles – they can’t be destroyed … and be very 
careful around the enemies that will shoot at you the moment 
they see you. You’ll have your hands full.

Controls:
QAOP and SPACE to control the game.

Quit game using SHIFT+SPACE.

All keys except QUIT can be redefined. No joystick controls 
available.


Legal Blurb:
This game is FREEWARE and must remain freeware. I would also ask 
that the game will only be available from this website or from 
The World Of Spectrum.

There is a small bug in the spriteroutine. Very rarely when you shoot 
an enemy a block of corrupted graphics will be left in it’s place 
instead of it being removed [should be fixed now]. When that has 
happened it’ll keep happening so it’s best to just quit the game 
(using Shift+Space) and start again. It doesn’t affect gameplay and 
won’t make the game crash, but while you can move through it you can’t 
shoot through it. There is also a couple of other small glitches like 
flickering sprites on certain screens and the occasional shot not being 
deleted and left on the screen, but nothing major. I hope to fix this
sometime later.
