Thank you for downloading "Solar Blaster Trial Version Ver.1.31".

In this trial version, you can play a total of 4 stages, stages 1 to 3 and a bonus stage.

	About update
------------------------------------------------------------

In each version, the configuration information and key configuration information are unchanged and can be used as is.
Game information such as cleared stages and high scores are not compatible.

Basically, there is no problem with leaving it as is, but if you are concerned about the old version remaining, please delete the two files game.bin and game110.bin and game120.bin located in the path below.

Windows\users\<user name>\AppData\LocalLow\Old Style Factory\Solar Blaster Trial

Note that game130.bin is game data for Ver.1.30 and Ver.1.31.

(Versions 1.30 and 1.31 are compatible with each other's data.)

A retro side-scrolling shooter.

as not to hit the terrain or the enemy, You can clear the stage by defeating 
the last boss.

----[ About mode ]----------------------

There are two modes to choose from when playing the game.


ECASUAL

This mode has unlimited lives.
If you clear a stage with 9 mistakes or less, the corresponding stage will be unlocked, but your high score will not be recorded.


ESTANDARD

This is the basic mode where there are only 3 aircraft remaining.
When you clear a stage, the corresponding stage will be released and your high score will be recorded.


You can select this when you select "Start" on the title screen to start the game.

If you select the play mode in advance in the mode selection on the configuration screen, the selection screen will not appear at the start.


----[ About the score system ]----------

Scores will be given if you take a capsule dropped by some enemies.

Also, if you defeat enemies or take capsules in a row within 1 second, a chain 
bonus will be established and doubled.
Contains the score.

This chain bonus is valid even when you destroy something that does not have a 
score.
For example, by continuing to destroy the destructible terrain and pillars of 
stage 1, the bonus will continue to grow.
If you stand and defeat an enemy within 1 second after the pillar, the enemy's 
score will be doubled.


High Score and Max Chain Count are recorded for each stage, but they are only 
recorded when the stage is cleared in STANDARD mode.
