you use the D-Pad. If you touch any enemy you lose your parachute. You then start losing limbs. If you get hit with no limbs, you die. Your score is the number of seconds you stay alive plus the bonuses you get from crates.

Enemies

• Seagull: These are the basic enemies. They fly very fast, but they are small and only fly in one direction.
• Raven: These are like smart seagulls. They are the same size and fly slowly, but they follow you. When they are locked on to you they fly as fast as a seagull into you.
• Chopper: These are big, and if you are not careful you can die in one shot. They are a lot harder to dodge if you don't have a parachute.
• Jet: These are big and fast, but they are so fast that they get off the screen quickly.

Items

• Crate: If you crash into these you will get the amount of points written on the side of them. The less limbs you have, the more points they are worth.
• Jumper: These (if they count as items) are other skydivers. If you don't have a parachute you can steal one from him. You can steal limbs from him too.

Trophies

• Parachute Thief: Steel 100 parachutes.
• Raven Killer: Draw 150 ravens into choppers.
• Human Comet: Spend 2 minutes of undisturbed time without a parachute.
• 50 Pound Man: Spend 1 minute of undisturbed time without any limbs.
• PALADIN DRIVER: Get a score of 10 000 or more points.

Robot Mode

Play as a robot instead of a human. The human mode is very bloody, but in the robot mode the blood is replaced with oil.

Main

This was the first version of Skydiver Mach II. It has music off Mega Man 3 so YoYo Games couldn't port it.

Editable

This is the same as the Main version, but in gmk format instead of exe format. It opens in Game Maker and you can edit it.

Port

This is the version you will see on iTunes. It has better graphics and music. The most noticeable difference between this version and the Main version is the skydiver is green, not yellow.
