Gameplay

Weapon upgrade Shield bonus Bonus score Fast reload Restart here

Your objective is to survive as long as possible and to shoot down everything that moves. Avoid to crash into buildings, energy barriers, bombs and other ships, since this will damage you shield. Try to collect upgrades to increase the ship strength or to reduce damage. If you collect the 'restart here' extra, your restart position after your ship has beed destroyed will be set to this position.

We want you!

Argon V is a work in progress. The first release is playable, but needs a lot of graphic improvements, a bunch of new enemies, sounds and music, more weapons and whatever you can think off. You don't need to be a programmer to take part in the development of Argon V. If you know how to use your favorite paint program, take a look at the source folder and create cool animated enemies, powerful weapons and fantastic background tiles. The level editor (running on any TCL/TK platform like Windows, Linux or MacOS) allows for instant creation of new levels using your just created new images. Without your help there'll never be version 1.1, with your help this will become the greatest palm game ever. It all depends on you!
