Description : First off, you can't win.
Monster spawning pads surround the center area,
which is where you spawn, and where ammo and some
health spawns. There's cover around the base, and
towers connected to it that teleport you in and
out of the base. Your goal is to kill as many
demons as possible. You will die. There is no win
condition. But there is a score!
As you kill monsters, the spawned monsters will
get stronger and stronger. If you stop killing
monsters, the spawned monsters get weaker.
Killing monsters gets you health and ammo, so if
you're low on health and there aren't any pickups
you can see, well... hope you don't get sniped.
There's also a minimap which tracks you, and the
monsters surrounding the map - bigger dots means
bigger baddies. Use it to more intelligently
attack areas, or figure out where to run the hell
away from.
I added explicit support for Samsara 0.29b and
Lelweps v7. If you don't know what those are,
don't worry.
