KrampusHack 2024
Yubi

	==Premise==
Pilot the invincible Xiphos Core. 
Vanquish the Antigen Fleet.
Rack up the highest possible score by defeating successive enemies without taking a hit.

This game was created for SiegeLord, whose KrampusHack wishlist included the following:

- Color cycling/foiling/holographic effects
- Some sort of character progression
- Space/cave/darkness theme, with the color blue

	==Controls==
Arrow Keys: Maneuver ship	
Z: Fire blaster forward. Fires drone blasters if available.
X: Fire sword wave forward.
C: Fire sword waves to both sides.
Escape: Return to title menu, ending the current run without confirmation.

	==Game Mechanics==
-Blasters do more damage than swords over the same period of time.
-Sword waves can erase blue NPC projectiles.
-Sword waves cannot erase white NPC projectiles.
-White NPC projectiles erase the player ship's blaster fire on collision.
	
-Destroying NPC craft increases your score. NPCs are destroyed when they explode.
-Every four NPCs defeated in succession increases your score multiplier from 1x -> 2x -> 4x -> 8x -> 16x -> 32x.
-The score multiplier cannot exceed 32x.
-If the player collides with an NPC projectile, the multiplier resets to 1x.
-If the player does not defeat any NPCs over a four second period, the multiplier resets to 1x.
-There is a 15 second period between level sections where the player's multiplier will not be penalized for not destroying NPC craft.

-I'll leave details on powerups a surprise.
