PrinceWatercress plays Space Station Silicon Valley - Part 32 of 32

Now that the game's all over with, let's play a mini-game!

First | Previous

For getting all the trophies (with a patch), you can play a space shooter mini-game. You can also press Down, Up, Z, L, Down, Left, Z, Down on the file select screen to unlock it.

A shoots, B turns the ship around in one of two directions, and the Control stick lets you move around. You can go in reverse, complete with a comedic truck reverse beep noise, but it is slower than moving forwards. The red rings will spawn asteroids if you see them. If you see any Power Cells, pick them up, as they power up your shot. You start with a single shot, which can upgrade to a double shot and then a three-way shot. You'll go all the way down to a single shot if you get destroyed.

You also have hit points. You start out as gold, then go down to silver at one hit and bronze after two. Three hits and you're out. Your current score followed by your high score is at the bottom. You also have three lives, and if you lose them all, the game is over. Hits and lives cannot be replenished.

Don't go too fast, and watch your surroundings. The spiked balls will shoot at you, and the spaceships will rocket towards you and hit you if you are not careful. The asteroids that you shoot obviously split into three when you shoot them, so be ready to fire constantly.

With that, that's all there is to say about the mini-game and this game in general.
