Synopsis

Acid Drops was programmed by Mike Granby. Acid Drops is a fixed screen shoot 'em up where the player can move left and right along the background and shoot creatures flying around the screen. The dripping acid of the title comes from a large acid bath located in the center of the screen and if the player is hit by a drop or enemies' projectiles, a life will be lost. The player will also die if all the acid falls. There are three different enemies; moths, pods and spinners. Initially there are just moths, but if they are hit by the acid they will mutate into pods which in turn will become spinners when hit. Spinners require two hits to kill. The objective of a level is to escape through a door on the right side of the screen. The door opens with time accelerating when an enemy is hit. When the door is fully opened, the game moves to a second stage where the player must move through a side-scrolling tunnel without crashing. If a crash occurs, the player still advances to the next level but without bonus points. There are nine levels in total.
