Crossroads

One or two players roam a maze crowded with nine kinds of creatures, and the creatures fight each other as readily as they fight you. Each kind has a colour; the same colour, or a friendly pair such as cyan and green, means friends, and everything else is a foe. Shoot creatures for points, from 50 for a blob up to 1500 for a knight; shells and knights shrug off bullets unless hit in the face. Pick up the spinning spars, each worth a shield point and 500 at the end of the level; five spars taken end the level. Creatures eat spars too and drop them when they die. An attack or a bullet costs a shield point, and with none left you lose a life. You start with four lives. The maze's edges wrap round.

Controls: Controller 1 is player 1 and controller 2 is player 2. The stick walks (pushing a new way first turns) and a button fires. On the title, up and down choose and a button selects.
