GAMEPLAY
"While you are Downloading" is a action paced arcade shooter, heavily inspired by coin eating shoot'em up games from the past. It's ment to be easy and quick to pick up and to be easy to learn and hard to master.

Try to survive for as long as you can, in this infinite game. Shoot enemies to survive and pick up their green energy to increase your score. Pickup weapons upgrade as you stay alive, and upgrade and unlock your weapons as you progress through the game.

The game features multiple of fancy and cool weapons, and the enemy type gets increasingly more difficult as you manage to survive. So the challenge increase while your skill increase, always challenging you to beat you high score.

Very easy to control as you only control the ship with left and right(not a twin stick shooter). Use you keyboard or your gamepad. As the game takes place in the future, there are no need for a fire button, the ship fires automatically!
