DARKWORLD MAGNET 2.5.2023




DarkworldM (Darkworld magnetic) is a 2D space-shooting game for one or two players. The first player uses the mouse or the cursor keys and the second player uses the keys s, y, x and c to select his magnet base. With a mouseclick on a selected base, RETURN or the key a the players activate or deactivate a magnet. If the magnet is activated and the magnets coming from the upper side of the gamefield aren't already moving to a nearer and activated magnet, they move towards the players' base. If they hit an enemies' spacecraft, it is eliminated. The players must destroy 100 spacecrafts without collision with magnets and spacecrafts of the enemies to win the game. This game is quite similar to DarkwarM. Spacecrafts like the spacecrafts of the players of DarkwarM are coming from the lower side of the gamefield and they are attacked by the enemies.
Aliases of the steering keys can be defined in the dialog displayed first. If you only click "apply", you can use the key "z" as alias for the key "y", which makes sense for the US keyboard layout.
You can use ESC to quit the game.
