Hello, welcome to Armageddonoid video tutorial.
Armageddonoid is Android (aka google phone)
port of the old arcade game from the 80s.
If you watched Terminator 2 movie
maybe you remember what game John was playing
in the video arcade when
T1000 found him for the first time.
So, basically this game has arcade perfect
look and feel in the current release,
which means really basic graphics and
almost no sound. Also it was developed
for the trackball only to be as close to
the original as possible.
You control your missile launcher using trackball.
To launch missile you just press on the trackball.
This is how it works...
The aim of the game is to defend your six cities
from death rays coming from the above.
You have limited number of missiles
so you need to be quick.
You can also play in the full screen mode
in horizontal position like this...
You need to open your G1 keyboard.
It will take a while and the game will reset
but then you can play in the horizontal mode.
If you feel that crosshair is too small
you can go to options. So you just go back
to main screen, you click options and you can
change the crosshair to either small, medium or large.
You do it like this...
You save your preferences and then you can go
back to the game.
Now the crosshair is larger so you can see it better.
One thing that users reported is that trackball
can be sluggish from time to time, so again
you go back to Options
and you have something called trackball sensitivity.
If you slide it to the maximum,
then you go to Save, back to game,
trackball will be much
more responsive. It will be easier for you
to go through the screen to aim.
All right, many users have also asked for
the touch screen support so it was added to the game.
However, it still requires you to touch the screen,
hold down and drag your finger to manipulate the crosshair.
You can do it like this...
So basically you move the crosshair on the screen
and then you tap to fire.
Still, you need to be really quick to blow the ray of death
before it reaches your city. Right?
The touch screen controls were implemented in a way
that it does not really matter where you tap the screen
or you put your finger.
You still are able to aim and fire.
So it does not mean you need to cover the crosshair
and move it. You basically touch anywhere on the screen.
So: tap, hold down, move, and tap again to fire.
That would be it in this I guess short video tutorial.
Have fun with the game. Thanks.
