The Collector

The Collector is a single-screen action game in which the player controls a wagon. It can be moved left or right in order to collect charges which fall from the sky. These come in the four colours of the gamepad buttons. After catching one, the vehicle needs to be moved over the associated power cell in the ground and press the correct button to unload the charge. Additionally there are also power-ups (speed boost, items which cause all items to either fall faster or slower as well as colour changers for all present charges) and debris (after hitting one, power from the cells is used to repair the wagon) falling down. The primary goal is to load up all four power cells to advance a level; the secondary is earning enough points for a place in the high-score list. Depositing charges rewards points while hitting debris and pressing the wrong buttons decrease them. When participating in competitive multiplayer matches, there are four additional power-ups to look out for: power decreasing (drains energy when depositing charges), slowdown (the player moves slower), confuse (influences player movement) and swap colours. It is also possible to play alone against the AI.
