Teeter Torture

Teeter Torture is an interesting and unique shooting game that is reminiscent of classic arcade games such as "Space Invaders", "Galaga", and "Galaxian". However, this game has a twist that sets it apart from others in the same genre: your cannon sits atop a teeter totter. If you don't balance the teeter totter by leaning too far in either direction, a barrel of TNT will explode! Players must keep the balance while dealing with falling "weight monsters" that attach to the teeter totter and make it more difficult to keep it balanced.

It's worth noting that Teeter Torture is a modern reproduction of a classic arcade game prototype that was originally created in 1982 by Larry Hutcherson of Exidy. To play Teeter Torture, you'll need Simple DirectMedia Layer, SDL_mixer, and SDL_image.

New features have been added to the game since its initial release. The new version features an added title screen, instructions, and high score screens. High scores are now stored in ~/.teetertorturerc, making it easier to track your progress. Additionally, the game now features remaining level background colors, providing players with a more immersive and engaging gaming experience.

Overall, Teeter Torture is an enjoyable and challenging game for players who enjoy shooting games with a unique twist. Its classic arcade aesthetic and modern features make it a must-have for fans of the genre.
