Gameplay

You have a laser for shooting at enemies. The ENERGY bar represents your health (you can gain energy by eating FOOD trash).

You have two XP bars: the first one is BIO type and the other one is MECHA type. You gain XP by eating BIO trash (green highlight, dropped by dead enemies) or MECHA trash (red highlight, already on the ground).

Reaching levels 1, 2 and 3 on one of the two bars, you unlock a new ability of this type. Lvl 1 and lvl 2 abilities are passive, lvl 3 abilities are powerful attacks. But you can only obtain one of the two skills per level, so choose wisely what you eat.

You can destroy pieces of trash by shooting them.
