    Overview

    Evade 2 is a first-person space shooter for the Arduboy, billed by its makers as the first flight sim on the console. You sit in the cockpit while scouts, bombers and assault ships swoop at you in vector graphics; clear enough of them and you warp to an Ace, one of three boss ships, before the next wave begins.

    Modus Create made it in about three weeks as a holiday gift to friends, family and the Arduboy community in December 2017, as a sequel to their side-scrolling shooter Evade. It has three enemy types, three Aces, eleven songs and asteroids to dodge, and the team filled the console's program memory to the last byte to fit it all in.

    Cockpit

    Left meter
    Shield, 100 at the start; the game ends when it runs out
    Right meter
    Boost; drains while B is held, refills when you let go
    Shots
    Up to six of yours in flight at once, from the left and right cannons in turn
    Enemy bullet or bomb
    10 off the shield
    Asteroid

    Waves

    Wave 1
    Scouts only, 12 kills to finish it
    Wave 2
    Bombers join
    Wave 3
    Assault ships join, circling around you
    Wave 4 on
    Asteroids; they can't be shot down, only avoided
    Later waves
    Each wave needs one more kill than the last, and from every 4th wave enemies shoot more often and the kill count jumps
    Ace
    A boss after every wave's kills, needing about 20 hits at first and more later; a different Ace on odd waves, even waves and every third wave
    Between fights
    The shield refills during the warp to the Ace and partly before the next wave

    Tips

    1. Enemies hold their fire while you are steering, so keep the ship moving and line up shots in short bursts.
    2. Every press of A fires one shot; hold the D-pad toward a ship as you fire to send the shot after it.
    3. From wave 4, shots pass harmlessly through asteroids. Steer around them: one hit costs as much shield as three bullets.
    4. Aces flicker when hit. Keep firing as they sweep across the screen; the shield is full when the fight starts.
