Neptune's Daughters

arcade game for Commodore 64, 1983

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use Control Port 2.

Players control Neptune who is exploring the depths of the ocean in search of
his daughters held captive by the sea snake. The game is split into two
sections. The first section has the player guiding Neptune through a series
of underwater caverns while destroying jellyfish. The player also must shrink
down weeds that get in their way. The weeds grow back to their original size
after a few seconds, so the player must swim past them in a limited amount of
time.

The second section has the player shooting crabs while avoiding falling
debris. By shooting crabs, the player can pick them up and take it to the
structure nearby where the player will see the daughters trapped in an
aquarium guarded by the snake. To set her free, the player is required to
drop the crab onto the snake's tongue. If the player repeats this enough
times, the daughter is set free and the game restarts with a higher
difficulty level.
