💖 SCAVENGER(6) 💖

okay bestie, listen up — this is scavenger, section 6 of the games manual, and it's a whole vibe. it's a plattform game for X and honestly? it ate.

✨ NAME ✨

scavenger — a plattform game for X 🎮✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

scavenger

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. she's low maintenance like that 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so Scavenger is basically like Lode Runner, iykyk. you're running around grabbing objects while dodging enemies — the whole main character energy situation.

you dig down through some of the blocks to get at the buried objects 🕳️✨. once you've collected everything, ladders may appear. and to finish the level? you gotta exit through the top of the screen. no cap, that's the way out.

here's the tea on enemies 🫖:

  • if an enemy falls into a dug brick, he is stunned for a while 😵
  • if the brick fills in with him in it, he is killed 💀 — and then he reappears at the top of the screen 🙈

and this version is serving extra: there's a level editor for designing your own levels, plus a graphics editor for drawing your own artwork 🎨. iconic.

💜 OPTIONS 💜

this command has no options. periodt.

🎀 GAME CONTROLS 🎀

default control is with the number pad keys 4-9, bestie:

 Dig left     Move up     Dig right
     7           8           9
     4           5           6
 Move left   Move down    Move right

as of version 1.3 you can remap the controls ✨. in demo mode hit space to get to the menu, then hit F10 to remap the keys. for each key, if you hit escape the key is unchanged. no takebacks, it just stays how it was 🫶

  • F8 — skip to next level ⏭️
  • k — kill player (useful if he's trapped) 💀
  • ESC — exit back to demo mode
  • Pause — pause game ⏸️
