Tube Fighter alpha version 1

Here's a quick 30-second game that I might turn into something longer and more interesting someday. Based on the code in Glen Rhodes' book Macromedia Flash Professional 8 Game Development. There's no preloader, so it might work/look weird at first until it loads in. Make sure you scroll down to fit the whole game in your browser window (if needed).

Move your mouse to move the ship, and click your mouse like hell to fire. Try to get power-ups for timed moments of wicked destructive power. Well-timed power-up shots can take out a two whole waves of baddies!

Things to do for future versions:

• wicked sound design
• level bosses
• more enemy types with some better ai
• build in the story with some in-game "cut scenes"
• multiple levels with varying terrains that take you into the story
• more animations for the player's ship (banking l/r states)
• more power-ups
• persistent level-ups
• player ship shield mechanics
• more player lives!
