Earth Invaders 0
  -- Readme --
GBAX Demo Edition


--Presentation--

Earth Invaders 0 is an old school side scrolling 2.5D game, developped by smealum (code) and lobo (GFX). Why 2.5D ? Because, as you may notice, the game features a classic 2D gameplay with a 2D background, but every single element, item, character of the game is actually real time rendered in 3D. Enough of technical stuff. EI 0 is not only a side scrolling platform game but also an infiltration/shooting game which takes advantage of the unique features of the DS, such as the touch screen.

NOTE : This is not a full game. It only features one level and additionnal features will be added later in the development.

--Instructions--

The game has been developped with an M3 DS Simply/R4. I can not guarantee it will work with other cards.
Please DLDI patch it before playing it. If you don't, you won't have the new game cinematic and the game might crash. If the game still crashes when you press new game, please try using the Level Select menu.

--Controls--

This game features a "mirror" control-scheme : it's adapted for both lefties and righties.
- D-PAD or ABXY : move. (Up or X to jump)
(in equipment menu, change equipment)
- Down (In front of a button, on an elevator or in front of the computer) : Use item.
- Stylus : aim or open the equipment menu.
- R or L : shoot. (you have to be aiming with the stylus)
Note : Up + Direction = long jump.
Up alone = high jump.
- Select : switch screens
