The game begins at the main menu.
High Scores table has been implemented using text files to save the player name and scores.
Game settings such as full screen/windowed, audio volumes, and game difficulty can be adjusted in the settings menu.
The instructions menu displays the controls for gamepad and keyboard.
Before progressing to the level the Enter Name State is used to enter the players name, used to save scores at the end of the game.
Objectives are displayed at the start of each level, and must be completed to progress to the following levels.
The player must avoid obstacles, and destroy enemies. A map on the HUD displays the players progress.
The player is warned when flying to low to the ground.
If the player collides with objects on the collision layer they are destroyed.
Some of the obstacles move, to make it more difficult for the player. Lowering the difficulty in settings decreases the moving obstacles.
Pressing "Esc" brings the player to the Pause State, where they can return to the main menu, or resume the game later.
The player must destroy the end-of-level boss to progress to the next level. A health bar indicates the health of the boss enemy.
Level 2 uses a different tiled layout and background, with more enemies to deal with. Level 3 is also along the same lines.
When the game is over the score is displayed, and the player can choose to restart the game, or return to the main menu.
