Playing Scorched Planet
-----------------------
The colony world Dator 5 is under attack from the marauding Voraxian Hordes.
The people have sent out a distress call to the Galactic Federation, but
yours is the only Galactic ship in the vicinity. Dator 5 will be taken. And
your job is to save the humans.
Using your Type 16 morphing vehicle, you must defend the people of Dator 5
against Voraxian attacks, both from the skies and from the hills. Voraxian
creatures will attempt to destroy the humans, or capture and carry them back
to the Voraxian factory ship for 're-processing'. You must protect the
humans, and beam them up to the relative safety of your cargo ship orbiting
the planet.
Your Type 16 can carry up to 5 humans at a time. Urge them on-board by
opening the door of your tank-buggy (press the 'Home' key to open/shut the
door). Beam the humans to safety by flying them through the floating
spacegate.
Beware: your flying fighter craft uses fuel. If you run low, you'll
automatically morph back into the tank-buggy. You may find fuel power-ups
around the terrain... or perhaps a destroyed Voraxian will leave a gift...
or maybe you'll come across secret weapon/fuel dumps.
The humans may also be able to assist you. The soldiers (yellow uniforms) are
pretty good at defending themselves when under fire. The civilians (blue
uniforms) aren't really fighters... but some of them are pretty hot
scavengers, maybe they can help you find power-ups. Tip: always be on the
look out for new modes of transportation and pieces of equipment which may
help you in your mission.
Look for the "city beacon" to appear when a settlement is under attack. All
the humans will head towards their city beacon. Tip: if you're quick, you may
be able to evacuate a settlement by grabbing the beacon and dropping it
outside the settlement.
Watch out for spiders mutating humans into zombies. Anti-venom can be used to
cure them.
Remember, collectibles can only be picked up when driving the tank.
