You have 100HP and a gun, your goal is to reach the elevator, which arrives in 1,000 moves. Once you get there and take it, you win the game. You can move with WASD with J/L for turning and Space to fire your weapon to kill red ball enemies. Limitless bullets, but one at a time.

There is four color modes, plain ASCII and/or with colors.

I didnt know English at the moment, I doubt I could even spell English correctly. I wrote a similar version using JavaScript + HTML5 Canvas, I am not sure if its the same result, but it should be pretty close.
