Neutron

This version was created for RGCD's C64 16KB Cartridge GameDev Compo 2019.

A simple vertical 'shoot em up' on the C64, a precursor to Zeta Wing which followed in 2020. Being on 16k restricts what you can do but there is plenty here that can even put some of the earlier commercial budget game efforts.

There are nine levels in total made up of three levels which loop with increased difficulty. The mechanic of shooting waves for powerups isn't here yet so you have to watch out for the one power up on each level which you can collect to upgrade your weapon. There are two types of score bonuses that can also be shot to collect. Each level has an easy mid level boss and and end of level boss. You will see the same waves appear over the nine level's but in each loop they can fire more and more deadly and faster waves will appear.
