This is the finished version of Vortex Crystals, which was originally released on to the 16KB Game Cartridge Dev Compo_2015, run by RGCD.
Unlike the 16KB version (below). This final version of the game
consists of a new front end, brand new music, a high score table (and
saver, should you use the disk version) and also in game sound effects
and missing game elements, etc. There is also a hidden cheat in
the game, but that will be up to you to work out for yourself :)
Scientists
have transported energy crystals, which purpose is to help rescue
planet Earth from a future alien invasion - unaware that one of the
scientists was bitten by a small green and slimy, but deadly alien. He
then was turned into a huger version of the species. Now he resides
inside a control room of the Vortex Complex - A high security building,
where the crystals on Earth are stored. Security forces have been
destroyed by beaming aliens. An invasion is about to happen. The Prime Minister has sent a member of special forces to enter the Vortex Complex. This is where you come in ...
Your
mission is to enter 16 different high security rooms inside the Vortex
Complex. You must pick up and destroy all of the crystals in each room
with your strong hands. After you have destroyed the last crystal, you
must have enough ammo to shoot dead an alien, and pick up an exit pass.
Then flee for the open door, to the next room. You have 20 minutes
before the security systems will trigger a toxic gas, killing you
instantly. Watch out for the aliens, spikes and falling through holes.
Can you make your way through all 16 rooms of the Vortex complex and
encounter the slimy green alien, or will you be too late? Good luck ...
You'll need it - most definitely.
