The idea of the game is simple; shoot everything you see.
With mouse:
You pilot the space ship with mouse by turning it (move
the mouse horizontally) what ever the direction you want
to move (left button) or shoot (right button).
With keyboard (the numeric keypad):
key ‘4’ : counterclockwise
key ‘6’ : clockwise
key ‘8’ : moving forward
and
‘space’ : firing
Scoring is also simple; a slow alien 100 points and a fast one 300 points. Once you’ve played the game, you’ll see which are the slow ones and which are the fast ones. Also clearing (is that a suitable word, don’t know) the level gives you some bonus points, depending on how little ammunition you have used.
When you have cleared the level (5 aliens) you’ll be ‘transmitted’ to the next one. Every third level gains you one more ship.
When you finally run out of ships. You can see the top ten list and if you have gained enough points, you can give three initials (no backspace allowed so type carefully) and then see yourself (well at least your initilas) in the list.
There is no menu in the program, so to play it again you’ll have to start the game again.

Another thing that really makes Omega v1.1 enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Omega v1.1. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
