FREAX is a simple yet addictive shootem-up game for the VIC20, CBM64 & CBM16/+4. Iis open source and only 2K in size.

To move left/right use keys I,P. hit SHIFT to fire. To exit game hit key X. In the title screen you can select different modes by hitting M key. For a fast game select 1 (bit 0). For a simpler "classic" alien motion, select 2 (bit 1). For both, 3..

When the aliens move, different rows move in the opposite direction. The game has a pattern of alien movements that span over 8 levels, each level lower and more difficult. After 8 levels, the game "wraps" and keeps playing, but at a faster speed. When an alien reaches the bottom, or you use all your lives, the game is over. HINT: When shooting, shave the "side" aliens first, then try to eliminate all the ones going in one particular direction.
