THE LAWS OF THE FIFTH DIMENSION - PARADE LEVELS

To the incredible pilot of the Starfighter Perseus, recognizable shapes began to form before his eyes. Slowly, abstract notions begin to seem tangibly real. Surely it must be an illusion. There is nothing tangible or righteous about this horrid dimension, he assures himself.

Galaxy Parade's key mechanic, as well as its most unique mechanic, is undeniably the Parade Meter, a multipurpose tool primarily used for affecting dynamic difficulty adjustment naturally during gameplay. The basic flow of gameplay revolves around the Parade Meter as such;

Kill Enemies to earn Points

Killing Enemies raises the Parade Meter

Getting hit by Enemies will drain the Parade Meter

Using certain weapons may drain the Parade Meter

Higher Parade means enemies are worth more points

It also means enemies are more aggressive


During gameplay, the Parade Meter may fall and rise constantly. As this happens, the Galaxy background will change to reflect the player's Parade Level.


The Second Galaxy looks like some pretty standard sci-fi fare.


In between waves of enemies, the Perseus will have to navigate fields of Asteroids and Mines. Be careful! Getting too close to the Mines may cause them to detonate, taking out the Perseus, as well as any nearby Asteroids!


As your Parade Level rises, the stars in the backdrop will start to speed by more quickly. From the looks of these streaks, it'd seem the Perseus is picking up speed!


All sorts of streaks of light are whizzing past the Perseus now! What will happen if its speed keeps increasing?


This is a dangerous situation! At higher Parade Levels, not only does it look like the Perseus has hit light speed, the enemies have become amazingly aggressive! You can do it, Perseus!


Every Galaxy features a number of interactive backgrounds, becoming more complex as the game progresses. A little visual reward perhaps for truly courageous pilots! Rene Shible, Lead Developer - Galaxy Parade, Team Black Dog
