Monsters is a 2D action shooter inspired by the classic arcade game Robotron 2084. Wielding “twin stick” controls, the player aims to defeat waves of enemy monsters bent on his destruction. The player must use caution, however, as every shot drains the player’s life/energy. The only way to stay alive is to continuously collect the hearts of the slain monsters. In addition, hearts of different colors provide a variety of “power-up” like abilities that the player can use to their advantage. The player uses two sets of controls, one to move, the other to fire. Each wave is a single screen populated with a number of enemy monsters of varying types. Coming into contact with an enemy or an enemy projectile will decrease the player’s life/energy. Defeating each level of monsters will allow the player to progress to a more difficult level. The game will progress infinitely as the player defeats each level.

A new build of Monsters (version 0.11a) is now available in the download section. This version has the following changes:

- There are now player lives in the game.

- The player starts with 3 lives and is awarded a bonus life at every 100,000 points.

- There is now a new point structure for killing monsters.

- The player receives a point multiplier on killing monsters and picking up hearts which is dependent on how much energy they currently have. It is set up in increments of 10. For example, if the player has 100 energy they will get a x10 multiplier on the points awarded.

As always, let me know what you like, don't like, or feel confused about. Thanks! :D
