Aya on the Precipice

Game info: 

This is an arcade scoring action game about bird photography made risky. Play as Aya as you photograph the capture points while avoiding the relentless bird mob annoyed by her antics.

Controls: 

• arrow keys/  WASD: move around
• x key/ left click: take a photo

Rules and Mechanics:

Gameplay:

• The player controls Aya as she flies across the stage.
• Her camera behaves similarly to the camera in Shoot the Bullet and Double Spoiler. Hold the button to push the capture area and release the button to take a photo of everything in that area.
• A capture point will appear in the level that can be captured by the camera, Aya's is required to photograph a capture point before the timer on the top right corner runs out.
• Each capture point captured will replenish Aya's time and spawns a new one, but once captured it will also spawn in a new enemy that will relentlessly pursue Aya.
• Contacting with enemies and bullets will harm Aya, reducing her health. If her health reaches 0, you lose the game. 
• Luckily, Aya can recover her health rapidly by capturing enemies and capture targets with her camera, hence don't worry about taking damage as you are able to recover from them quickly.
• The camera can also stun enemies and destroy bullets that are being captured, however enemies are only stunned briefly and cannot be removed from the level.
• The objective is to capture a set amount of points scattered in a level. Once reached, the next wave of enemies is started. Once you reach the last wave, be prepared for a surprise...
• Aya will gain score for capturing points, enemies and bullets.
• If she manages to do so within a certain amount of time, she'll gain combo which greatly increases point gain. but her combo will reset if she does not photograh anything within a short period of time

Tips and Tricks:

•  While the more enemies and bullets means that you'll likely harm yourself more, you'll also be able to recover more health from photographing a cluster of bullets and enemies.
• Don't be afraid of losing health as you can generally recover them in no time as long as you keep photographing something.
• Bosses cannot be stunned.
• Some projectiles cannot be destroyed, such as laser and extremely large bullets.
