Cherry Bomb

How to Play
Cherry Bomb is a basic arcade Shoot 'em up game (Shmup) reminiscent of Space Invaders or
Galaga. Pilot your red spaceship to blast your way through 9 waves of attacking aliens. Use
the following controls:
Arrow keys - Move the ship
(X) - Shoot
(O) - Bomb (Depletes your π. See below)
Shoot the enemies to destroy them. Enemies will attack you. Destroy or avoid all enemies in a
wave to proceed to the next wave. There are 9 waves in the game. If you get hit you will lose
a β€οΈ. If you lose all β€οΈ you lose the game.
Pickups
Occasionally, defeated enemies will drop a π pickup. Collect them to increase the
strength of your Bomb. Triggering the Bomb will deplete your π. You cannot use the
Bomb if you have no π.
If you collect 10 π you will restore a β€οΈ. If you already have
4β€οΈ you will get points instead. After collecting 10 π your stock will
always reset.
Scoring
Here are ways to score in the game:
Shooting down enemies will give you points. More dangerous enemies will give more points
Shooting down an attacking enemy will double the points you get
Collecting 10π with 4β€οΈ will give you points
Destroying enemy bullets with the Bomb will give you points
The game will keep your highest score. Post your best results in the comments below!
