Alternity 5,638 (a little more relaxing!) some hidden sections and dead ends, might get interesting. Pressing Select on the title screen changes the colours but not sure if this changes difficulty - time to read the manual ;)

Went looking for a manual ... did not find one...if you find one please either post it here or the link to it..

 

After I read about changing the colors.. I tried it my self...changing the color does indeed change the difficulty. I have no idea what it all means but I took some screenshots of the colors and the first screen of each color.

 

1. Default...seems to be easy or novice if you will

2. a little faster but not by much..a few more enemies on the screen

I did not count how many times it changes because I went searching for a manual....will keep you posted as to what I find out...

 

This is truly a unique game...kind of reminds me of tempest..and again the controls take getting used to.

 

 

UPDATE: There are 5 levels to start from. red being level 5...Grey is level 4

If you've not worked out the Alternity controls then it's l/r to select your path when you are on a junction, u/d to move along the lines and you can shoot both ways... collect the goodies shoot the baddies - see the info on the title screen ;)

there are only a few screens to each level - stay off the corners unless you've got the shield (box) on ;)
