Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Push your skills to the edge with this free retro arcade game Scrambler. Great game-play that’s typical of old games. A side scrolling shooter game where you navigate your ship through 6 different stages packed with menacing enemies, on the way to destroy the final Enemy Base. KEY FEATURES - Classic arcade coin-op experience; graphics, sounds, gameplay – everything is there! - Two touchscreen player control methods, plus Bluetooth Gamepad Controller support - Google Play Games: Global Leaderboards & 24 Achievements - 100% playable without in-app purchases! - Play offline: no WiFi / no internet required - Save your game: For on-the-go gaming – continue whenever you want to Tip: Download to a large tablet and sit back with a Bluetooth wireless gamepad! GAME INFO Pause/Quit: Use your device’s Back Button Hi-Scores/Leaderboards: Two types: 1: Local to your device: Seen in attract/demo mode 2: Global: Google Play Games: Sign-in/view from pre-game options Novice Mode (Easier): Auto set ON at install, & auto turns OFF forever when you’re familiar with the controls Difficulty “Normal: Android Mode”: Terrain Avoidance System helps to stop you crashing into the ground Easier Stage 5 (Maze) map No losing lives on the final End Base stage Difficulty “Brutal: GamePad a must!”: None of the above! Tip: Use a Bluetooth Controller GamePad! PLAYER CONTROL TIPS Tip 1: Learn to quickly lift your left thumb & then touch again to “reset” the distance between your thumb & ship. E.g. push your ship forward then lift + retouch behind & above to fly near the ground, etc. Tip 2: You can very quickly fire both your Lasers + Bombs by sliding your right thumb up & down over the buttons. You don’t need to lift your thumb (& both buttons are auto-fire). PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED Note: Since Scrambler is free to play, it is supported by (optional) Video Ads, & helped by Analytics.
