I tried playing a game that Earlon mask made at just 12 years old - YouTube


With the game "↑" "←" "↓" "→" on the keyboard, move the spaceship in front of the screen ... ...


A simple thing that fires bullets with the space key and shoots down the enemies of the alien.


When a bullet hits, the enemy explodes and you can get points.


The enemy occasionally shoots a purple bullet, but if you shoot this bullet, you can not move.


There is no way to avoid it only by turning around behind the enemy before being shot.


Even without using the keyboard, you can play by pressing the button at the bottom of the page. The game is over if you receive enemy bullets 4 times.


Mr. Mask sold the game code to the magazine "PC and Office Technology" for 500 dollars (about 125,000 yen at that rate). If the code is "Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic FutureIt seems that Google's software engineer has rebuilt it in HTML 5 and made it public.

The game itself is not particularly attractive, but it is amazing that only Mr. Mask of 12 years old made it.
