Game mechanics:

Damage and respawn: your character dies when touching an enemy or being hit by a projectile. When dying, you will continue from the same point (screen), until the stock of lives runs out. Continues are infinite, but using it takes you back to the beginning of the level.

Powerups: 3 attack levels, first (blue) is a short attack, second (green) is medium ranged, and level 3 (brown) is long range and bounces off enemies.

Combos: With the Level 3 Powerup, the weapon bounces from one enemy to another, allowing you to perform combos that give you extra points.

Items and Score: every 1000 points you gain 1 extra life. each kind of item give you different scores, enemies killed too. There are even items that give you extra health or a special attack.

Questions and answers

Q: I tried to load the game but it got a file not found error.

A: Unzip the game in a folder other than the desktop or Windows user folders, such as: C\games\apprentice\. So the game should load normally.

Q: I'm having problems with control and video settings or game slowdown.

A: Close the game, delete the "cabinet.ini" file, and load it again. Then press F10 and test each of the video modes, some modes may be faster than others on your computer.

Sorry, I made a review of a problem I was having, but when I checked I discovered that for some reason there was a bad calibration in Windows that made the analog stick on my controller go to the left (and it happened even with another controller) and for some reason it wasn't affecting other games, but when I restored the controller calibration it worked normally.

Desculpa, eu fiz uma review de um problema que eu tava tendo, mas ao verificar eu descobri que por algum motivo tinha uma calibração ruim no Windows que fazia o analógico do meu controle ir para a esquerda (e acontecia mesmo com outro controle) e por algum motivo não estava afetando outros jogos, mas ao restaurar a calibração do controle ele funcionou normalmente.

I'm glad it worked for you. have fun.

Thanks!

First Time I hear this bug. The engine is old and obsolette, so I can't garantee it to work on every computer, and thats why this game was always free to play.

I wanna play it, but it does not launch. The error points to file corruption.

Unfortunate the engine I've used get obsolet and some times does not work on some computers. Try to unzip the game on another path and restart your computer after get this error message. If it still does not work I'm afraid it wont on your computer, sorry.

great jobs

Thanks for the gameplay. Unfortunate the game runs slow on some machines. That's one reason why I have abandoned this obsolete engine

no problem ... i like vibes amiga ..
