Kobo Deluxe
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
v0.5.1
|
||||
|
||||
An enhanced port
|
||||
of the scrolling video game
|
||||
XKobo
|
||||
|
||||
DESCRIPTION
|
||||
Kobo Deluxe is a 3'rd person scrolling 2D shooter with a simple and
|
||||
responsive control system - which you'll need to tackle the tons of
|
||||
enemy ships that shoot at you, chase you, circle around you shooting,
|
||||
or even launch other ships at you, while you're trying to destroy the
|
||||
labyrinth shaped bases. There are 50 action packed levels with smoothly
|
||||
increasing difficulty, and different combinations of enemies that
|
||||
require different tactics to be dealt with successfully.
|
||||
|
||||
Kobo Deluxe has an improved graphics engine that delivers smoother ani-
|
||||
mation, while keeping the game logic totally accurate and predictable
|
||||
regardless of frame rate. It also adds sound effects, new graphics,
|
||||
fullscreen mode, four extra skill levels with smoother gameplay and
|
||||
various other features expected from a modern game. (There is still a
|
||||
"Clasic" mode that plays exactly like the original XKobo.)
|
||||
|
||||
Kobo Deluxe uses SDL for sound, graphics and input, and builds and runs
|
||||
on all major operating systems, as well as some more unusual platforms.
|
||||
It can also use OpenGL for accelerated rendering, through glSDL.
|
||||
|
||||
In short, Kobo Deluxe is loads of classical arcade style fun for just
|
||||
about any machine with graphics and sound!
|
||||
|
||||
CONTROLS
|
||||
The ship can be controlled with the keyboard, or optionally a mouse or
|
||||
joystick. With the keyboard, the arrow keys move the ship (two keys for
|
||||
diagonals), and the shift and ctrl keys shoots. The numeric key pad can
|
||||
also be used; the usual 2/4/6/8 (arrows), and also 1/3/7/9 for single
|
||||
key diagonals. Escape enters the meny system, from where it is possi-
|
||||
ble to change settings, start a new game or exit the game.
|
||||
|
||||
OPTIONS
|
||||
Note that all relevant options can be also configured in the config
|
||||
