#### A retro-style vertically scrolling shoot 'em up

**Plot**

*The year is 2139. Planet Earth is under attack by aliens, and they're (still) antsy!*

**Objective**

🚀 **You're a mercenary** with a state-of-the-art space fighter and a gun for hire
👾 The United Federation of Planet Earth has hired you to **dispatch the aliens and restore calm**
💰️ **Complete every mission** to fulfil your contract and earn your pay

**One ship. One life. One mission**

💥 Destroy aliens by **shooting or colliding with them**
🛸️ **Avoid the aliens** if you can't destroy them
🔋 Collect power-ups to enhance your weapons and **charge the ship dynamo**
🛡️ A fully charged **dynamo boosts your shields by 50%**
🛑 **Weapons go offline** when travelling at hyperspeed
🌌 When your ship health is depleted, **you're lost to the vacuum of space**

**Controls** 🕹️

The joystick interface might need to be connected before the controllers work. Run the following in a terminal.

`snap connect antsy-alien-attack-pico:joystick`

**Antsy Alien Attack Pico should work with most game controllers** 🎮️ The in-game visuals show the PICO-8 buttons, but the following shows the equivalent buttons for Xbox controllers.
