Why did I write this program, and why in Python? Well there were really two reasons. First I wanted to quickly test various game rules and strategies. Python and pygames made prototyping quick and easy. This is actually about the twentieth version of the game. Second I wanted to try the new match/case statements that were added in Python 3.10. I found lots of uses for match/case and I really like it.

... - hourglass: other players are immobilized. - speedup: player moves 1.5x faster.

There are two language versions: English (default) and Polish (if polish locale is detected).

A 3D isometric classic shoot'em up game. You fight against aliens with four basic weapons: flamethrower, laser, freezer, and plasma. You also have a rechargable force field to help you.

...It is written completely in Python and uses Pygame so the code is as accessible as possible for others to inspect. The idea should be easy enough for anyone to understand: try to avoid running into flying saucers and their laser beams by shooting them down before they shoot you down. Every time you destroy a flying saucer you get points. Points are nice, you want them.

Use the various light reflecting/refracting tools, like mirrors, prisms and splitters, to guide the laser beam to light all the lightbulbs in a level. Avoid directing the laser beam onto bombs as that will force a level restart.
