Warning Forever

The whole game consists of a battle with one boss . Five game modes are available. In the main mode to pass the level a player must defeat the boss in the allotted time. Initially, the player has 180 seconds left. With the passage of the level is added 30 seconds, when hit the player is subtracted 20 seconds. The game ends when the allotted time ends. Other modes have different conditions for ending the game - without a time limit, but with a limited number of hits to the player (three or one); five minutes without adding and reducing time; game with any conditions of the player’s choice.

In each level, the boss evolves depending on the tactics used by the player in the previous level. In the first level, it consists of a single core, which is subsequently supplemented with various parts — armor and various weapons, such as guns, lasers, and homing missiles. For example, if the boss's front armor was destroyed, his next version would have enhanced front armor. If the boss was able to hit the player with a certain weapon, his next version may have more weapons of this type ^[1] . Thus, the player has to change battle tactics all the time.

In the game there are no prizes that improve player's weapons. The player’s only weapon is a rapid-fire gun operating in two different modes. In the first mode, all firepower is concentrated at one point in front of the player’s ship. In the second mode, depending on the movement of the player’s ship across the screen, the direction of fire changes and the width of the “fan” of shells. The player’s ship has a reduced lesion area typical of manic shooters that, when hit, the ship explodes, allowing it to maneuver in a dense stream of enemy bullets.

The graphics of the game are made in an abstract style, with a black-and-green monochrome color scheme. Similar graphics were subsequently used in the indie game Battleships Forever , which is a real-time space strategy .

The game has sound effects, but no music. The player can use external files with music ^[2] .
