Oh no! HippySlick has found the secret hideout of the HonkeyGang!

During the nightly patrol, HonkeyFunk noticed a gang of evil robots heading toward the HonkeyLair. He gave HonkeyJive a call to warn him of the coming threat.

HonkeyFro joined in on the conversation, and warned HonkeyJive that the robots were probably after the three 5'1/4" floppies that contained information crucial to the destruction of HippySlick's lair. If HippySlick were to get a hold of the information on the floppies, the HonkeyGang would easily be destroyed, and HippySlick would be able to take over the world (peacefully of course).

HonkeyJive had only seconds to set up his Groovy Defense Mechanism (GDM) on the HonkeyGang perimeter. The GDM was still in its development stages, and HonkeyJive was anxious to see if it would be strong enough to handle the robots. HonkeyJive told HonkeyFunk about the many different abilities of the GDM, and instructed HonkeyFunk to get the secret power-ups from his apartment.

The robots were right outside the door of the secret lab. HonkeyJive was ready for them.

Did HonkeyJive have enough time to destroy the robots with the GDM, thus protecting the HonkeyGang from extinction?

Did HonkeyFunk find the power-ups as instructed?

Only time will tell. You are the one that must help HonkeyJive destroy the robots, and keep the floppies away from HippySlick!

Gameplay

You can use the left and right arrow buttons to control the GDM. You can fire the GDM by hitting the space bar.

Your goal: Destroy all robots on the screen before they have a chance to get close enough to capture one of the floppies. If any lasers, bullets or robots hit the GDM, it will be destroyed, and the robots will grab one of the floppies. If any robots get past the GDM, a floppy will be captured as well.

If you can pass all fifteen levels of robots, you will have saved the world from total hippy annihilation.

Bonuses

Every once in a while, HonkeyFunk will throw a bonus balloon in to the lab. If you shoot the balloon, a power-up will be released. There are four types of power-ups:

Fast-Bullet: This power-up gives the GDM much faster shooting power. You'll be able to shoot many more bullets on the screen, and the bullet speed is greatly increased.

Three-Gun: The GDM will now be able to shoot three bullets instead of one. This weapon is very useful for taking out robots that aren't directly above the GDM. Very cool!

Groovy-Spread: This power-up is similar to the Three-Gun. However, it will shoot two of the bullets at a diagonal. This power-up is very good for rooms with shooterbots and laserbots.

Laser: Definitely the grooviest power-up. It turns the GDM's cannon into a laser. The laser will destroy anything in its path. The laser is slower than any other power-up.

From time to time, HonkeyFunk will attempt to pimp slap robots outside the lab, and retrieve stolen floppies. If he grabs a floppy, he'll send it back to you to retrieve. Of course, you can only get a floppy back if it has been stolen.

Enemies

Here are some of the enemies HonkeyJive will encounter:

SmallBots: These guys aren't too tough. Rather small, and not too annoying.

LaserBot: This guy is there to make your life harder. He hangs out at the top of the screen and bounces back and forth shooting lasers at you. Keep in mind that he doesn't need to be destroyed for you to advance a level.

HippyChicks: These sexy bots can be a nuisance. Some of them are quite strong. It can take up to three bullets to kill these beauties.

ShooterBot: These guys will make your life much harder. These robots can shoot bullets toward the ground.

BlastoBot: These rather annoying robots will crumble into small robot parts when destroyed. Make sure you aren't in the path of the robot parts, or you will surely be destroyed.

HomerBot: These guys are like the ShooterBots. However, they send out homing bullets. Avoid them at all costs!

BombBot: The most dangerous of all the bots. When these puppies are destroyed, they will shoot a last minute wave of 3-5 bullets at you.

BossBots: These baddies are very strong, and they have unique abilities.
