This simple game is basically a mixture of space shooter, bat & ball and reaction games, with a bit of strategic content in it.
In Armageddon V your objective is to defend the Earth in the middle of a meteor storm. You're in control of the Defense Unit which can bounce the meteors back to space or destroy them. At first, the DU is really slow, small and without any additional features, but with the points you've got you're able to upgrade the DU with various types of additions. These include e.g.
-> more speed / faster accelration
-> larger surface area / size
-> weapons of different fire power
-> early warning system
-> 180 degree flip
Without any upgrades it's impossible to reach the higher levels (>6). On the other hand, the points you've used affect your final score negatively, so it's hardly useful to buy everything. With a lot of skill, clever use of upgrades and perhaps a bit of luck as well it's possible to reach level numbers 12-15.
The levels vary in many aspects; distance to Earth, meteor speed and density. This means that certain features, like fire power or the early warning system, are more useful in some levels than in others. Anyway, the levels are continously getting harder. The game will always end in Armageddon, as soon as the world population has fell under 1 million inhabitants, or alternatively when the Defense Unit has been destroyed by meteor hits (remember to repair your unit!).
The game contains also an alternative game mode called the Intense Mode which offers more straight-forward action (0-2 minutes).
Controls:
---------
LEFT/RIGHT - move the defense unit
SPACE/SHIFT - shoot (if weapon available)
CTRL - make a 180 degrees flip (if enabled)
"-" - display the current ammo level (if weapon available)
P - pause the game
ENTER - continue from the level-info screens
Note: I'm not sure how the game will run on some older machines, so beware of some possible slowdowns, especially when many meteors hit the screen at the same time.
