Instructions

The goal of the game is to rescue more than half of the humans on each stage to progress.

Some humans are hiding in lava, you will need to find the shield pickup to enter the lava and rescue them. The shield also protects you from one-hit.

Great work. Definitely reminds me of old arcade games I played back when I was a kid!

I think it could use some more powerups and fanfare music when you complete levels!
