INTRODUCTION
Dreadbourne INC. are up to no good these days.
They're making plans about destroying whole villages to build up new factories. You are playing as Quex - a brave raindrop from a village named Soggy Meadows that are trying to prevent Dreadbourne from complete their plans.
One day, Quex flies his aircraft near the Dreadbourne headquarter to steal their most important papers. These papers contain highly classified information about Dreadbourne's future plans and the Dreadbourne company doesn't want anyone to know about the content. On the way out of the headquarter, Quex accidently triggers the alarm. Quex leaps out of the building with a bunch of guards chasing him. He manages to get to his plane.
Now he must survive the ride of his life - in the air.

ABOUT
This all started out when I got bored of working on Clouds Kingdom 3 and wanted to see if I was able to do a game in just 4 colours. I didn't know what to do at first, but then it came to this.
Even though that the game might seem quite simple and possibly plays like some of my other games, I'd recommend you to try it anyway. I wanted to do this game as retro as I possible could, and just a reason like that may even be fun to check out.

HOW TO PLAY
The game is very simple.
But if you want instructions, you can find information how to play at the 'help section' in the game's menu.

Hmm. There are a few bugs/things I would fix to make this look better in a game this simple. First of all: Reset the lives after you lose once! When I play another game after losing, it immediatly says game over. Also let the enemy aircraft go off the screen before disappearing. Pretty good, if simple, game though. And good implementation of the highscore board.

How much did you test this? I played it again, and I noticed you could get stuck in the corners and once the inside of my plane turned permanantly invisible after being hit.

@hop: Thank you for poiting those things out. Actually, I did this game in just 2 days and of course there's always small bugs that will apear. I tested it as much as possible, but I never got stuck in the conrners - even though I tried like a fool. Reseting the lives is one of the few things I always manage to forget while creating a game, but I'll try to remember that in the future. I did some changes, and now the version 1.1 is now avalible for download.

@Ethan Reul: I think using a raindrop as a character is very original! And the game was intended to be as few colours as possible, seems challenging to me! Hm, the game's not bad, but it crashed after I went Game Over. :(

Everyone that have problems with the missing bass.dll - Please take a look at the game's description. It says: NOTE: If you have problems playing the game because of missing files, try downloading this file and unzip it into the game's directory; http://www.crobasoft.com/products/Needs.zip In there you can find bass.dll along with some other needed extensions. The reason to why I didn't include this into the game's zip is because i wanted the file's size to remain small due it is a very small game. I don't think there are too many out there willing to download a large file if it's just a smaller / simpler game.

@Julia Sanders: Well, I do not know about that since you can download bass.dll all over the internet.

I love the graphics in this game, they're very cute (and retro). Reminds me of a stylish Gameboy game.

the graphics are kinda cool. but after about 450 you just get pinned in annoying boring places, and when you get hit you don't get that temporary flashing invinsibility for about 1 second to get away. And you could of used a custom movement, bouncing against the side of the screen is annoying.
