Initial Description:
In Tempest 3D, you will pilot a futuristic hover‐plane through the treacherous tunnels avoiding obstacles and bullets fired by enemies. The hover‐plane is allowed to travel up all sides of the tunnel, and at a certain angle, the camera will rotate and re‐center the ship on the bottom of the screen. The primary weapon of the craft will be dual lasers fired from the wings. This weapon will be available at the start of the level and has unlimited ammunition. There will also be power‐ups dispersed throughout the level including alternate weapons and shields. The weapons will be limited number of shots and will be fired with an alternate button. The object of the game is to complete the level. To do this, the pilot will need quick reflexes to avoid the fast moving objects and bullets. Objects include scraps of industrial refuse and the enemies will include mounted laser turrets and possibly mechanical creatures. Eventually the pilot will encounter turns and splits in which he is free to decide the course to take. At the end of the level, the pilot must face off with an enemy ship, after which the level is complete. Enjoy :)
