Flashlight

Switch on your flashlight in dark corridors and pitch-black corners in order to see your enemies and to find hidden bonus ammo. When the flashlight is turned on, a dedicated icon is illuminated on the bottom-right of the game window.

The flashlight energy bar on the right decreases as you use the flashlight. You may recharge it by using the blue energy consoles on the military base walls. Simply walk up to an energy console and hold down the SPACEBAR until your flashlight is recharged.

Life

Your red life bar indicates the level of health your character has. The more you are hit and bitten by aliens, the more you life points lose. You may heal your character by using the white consoles (with a red cross) on the military base walls. Simply walk up to a health console and hold down the SPACEBAR until your health is recharged.

Pneumatic Doors

The pneumatic doors of the military base are sometimes closed. Some doors automatically open when you approach them. Other door open only when you complete a task or clean an area by killing all present enemies (read in game dialogs). If a door has a red hand-icon beside it, it is not working and cannot be opened. On the other hand, if the door has a green hand-icon beside it just approach the green icon and press SPACEBAR to open it.

Interactive consoles

On the military base walls you will find consoles. Approach consoles and hold down the SPACEBAR until your health (red bar) is recharged (white/red medi-console) or until your flashlight (vertical bar on the bottom right) and/or energetic armor (blue or green bar above red health bar) is recharged (blue/yellow energy console).

Important suggestion: you may use the console as many times as you need to. Come back and use them any time you need to recharge your health, armor or flashlight.

Strong suggestions:

Recharge your health, armor and flashlight whenever you can, so you will always have max life and energy before exploring new areas and facing new battles. You can use the consoles as many times as you want.

Use your proximity landmines and grenades strategically, especially against the "alien-spewer" and alien "house-dog".

Shoot the flammable barrels when a lot of alien enemies are passing by in order to maximize the damage caused by the explosion.

Be aware that Behemoths (huge aliens you find at the end of level 3 and in level 4) have bulletproof hides. Use your most powerful weapons to damage and kill them (explosive weapons, D-orgone beam cannon and shotgun ...as last option).

To complete the game you must kill all aliens in the hive (level 4). To kill the final boss (the "aliens'-big-mama") you must unleash your most powerful weapons on the pulsing pinkish womb in the north side of the hive.
