Basic Gameplay & Controls

Gameplay

Each level of Necromonads consists of a number of Colonists and Infection shelters that the colonists try to run to. The Necromonads will attempt to capture and infect the fleeing colonists. To accomplish this they upduct them as the flee and bring them to the top of the screen. Once to the top of the screen the colonist becomes infected and dropped back down them.

Once infected they spit virus bile to nearby colonists causing the infection to spread. Your job as Star Pilot is to stop the Necros long enough for the colonists to get to the shelters, Moving to the next level occurs when all colonists are accounted for and more then 50% of the remaining colonists are safe in the shelter. The Necros will send various different forms after you to stop you as you progress.

Tips

Civilian Crowd Control

You can use your bombs not only to destroy infected to civilians but to make healthy ones change direction. If you see a healthy civilian heading towards danger, drop a bomb on em to get him to go the other way.

Barriers

Crystal barriers cause healthy civilians to change direction when the come into contact with one. In this way the Necromonads can do a few things. Trap civilians and also when they are fleeing make them change direction and head back into danger. Destroying crystals remove the obstacle. But try to think stategicially about which ones to remove.

Thanks for clearing this up..bombing the civilians seemed wrong at first, but now it makes perfect sense ;D
