Split Second: Double or Nothing 3

Created for the SEUCK Compo 2016, Published in the Reset #11 Mix-i-Disk.

This time it is a Sci-Fi thriller, called 'Split Second'. the third game of the 'Double or Nothing' series, just after Edge of Time: Double or Nothing 2, which was only released as part of The Shoot 'em Up Destruction Set 3 compilation.

This is a vertical scrolling SEUCK game, which consists of some clever tricks implemented in the BASIC SEUCK engine. The linked players poke (16578,2) controlled with one joystick mode, works really well with this game. The background consists of mixed hi-res and multicolour chars. You'll know what to expect from Alf. The green circular beams also feature a very clever trick implemented into the game, where the player can duplicate each other. There are some mean bosses, human militia, aliens.
