Z demo V1.01 (17/9/05)

'Z' is a simple space shooter. You're at the top of the screen, the enemy ships are at the bottom. You must kill them before they kill you. If any of the enemy ships make it past you, you will lose points.

Controls:

Z/X	Left/right
Space	Fire weak laser
Return	Fire stronger laser
Escape	Quit

On the right of the screen will be 3 bars, showing your status. The two leftmost are your laser temperatures; each time you fire these will increase. If they turn red then your guns are overheating; if you continue to fire you will explode. The rightmost bar is your shield status. If you run out of shields, you will explode. You have 3 lives, represented by the small ship symbols at the top right of the screen.

When you reach a boss, the boss's health will also appear as a bar on the right of the screen.

Every 5000 points you will receive a powerup from the next enemy that you kill. Powerups can replenish your shields, upgrade your weapons, or give you an extra life.

Note that this game has been in a demo state for 7 years, so don't expect the full version any time soon :)
