UFO Rescue!

== UFO Rescue! ==

A short, simple 2D arcade game written in SDL2.

The goal of the game is to rescue all the stranded aliens, using your tractor beam, and return them to the green portal.

== How to play ==

A: Fly left

D: Fly right

W: Fly up

S: Fly down

J: Use tractor beam

Escape: Pause

Fly over to an alien and pick him up with your tractor beam, then return him to the portal. Watch your energy level, as this will decrease as your fly and use your tractor beam. Batteries restore you energy level. If you fly into a wall at high speed, you will take damage. If you lose all your health, your ship will explode. However you have unlimited lives. Don't drop aliens - they will die upon impact with the ground!

There are 5 stages, each one more tricky than the last.

Stages are ranked:

A - Rescue all aliens within the time limit.

B - Rescue all aliens, outside of the time limit.

C - Rescue at least one alien

== Tips ==

* The time limit is only a par time. You can take as long as you like.

* You need only rescue one alien to pass a stage (with the lowest rank).

* You can carry more than one alien at a time.

== Menus ==

Use the arrow keys to navigate and change options. Use the left and right arrow keys to change volumes.

== Medal Key ==

This game supports an online achievement system, called medals. The key can be entered into the Options screen (or manually set in the save.json file, if you're familiar with editing JSON). To get a medal key, you need to visit

https://www.parallelrealities.co.uk/games/medals

and follow the instructions.

== Other ==

Game configuration (volumes, controls, highscores, etc.) are saved to a file called save.json, in the same directory as the game.
