Four new modes with orthogonal steering instead of the angle steering were inserted. The old version was replaced.

This game is a version of Darkworld OneScreen. The bombs fly to the nearest plus magnet or, if it's nearer, in the opposite direction of the nearest minus magnet. You must destroy 25 enemies in this version of Darkworld. There is only one screen and there are only three enemies on the screen simultaneous. You can play with one or two players. You use the cursor keys, RETURN, y, c and a and ESC to quit in the two players modes. There are one player modes with mouse steering and with keyboard steering. Three bombs of every player can be on the screen simultaneously. If you play a base mode, you have to load new bombs at the bases after three shots.

This game is thread-safe. The applet is compatible to JAVA 1.1.8, MSJVM and JAVA 1.8 and uses a deprecated JAVA API.
