V-Force

V-Force is a game featured in Orisinal: Morning Sunshine by Ferry Halim. It was one of the first games included in the collection, dating as far back as 2000. However, it was removed sometime between November 2008 and November 2009, at a time when Halim was removing and remastering older games in the Morning Sunshine collection that seemed thematically inconsistent with the evolving Orisinal brand.
The game is an arcade-style, vertically scrolling shooter in which the player must move and fire with a fighter ship. Points are earned by destroying enemy fighters and explosive mines. After surviving a wave of enemies, a notification appears, indicating that the player has progressed to the next level. This is done seamlessly, with the notification overlaying the screen while the fighter ship is still within the player's control. At this point, the background color changes, and a new wave of enemies begins to attack. The player is given 3 "ships" to start, and each time the player dies, 1 ship is subtracted, until reaching a game-over screen.
== How to play ==
Since Adobe Flash was discontinued in 2020, Ferry Halim's site that originally hosted V-Force is no longer working, making the game difficult to play. Adding to the difficulty, Flash preservation projects had initially failed to include V-Force in any of their archives due to its removal from the Morning Sunshine collection in 2009.
As of 2023, volunteers have managed to restore V-Force and are working to add it to the Flashpoint Archive. Once it is added, it can be played by downloading and installing Flashpoint.
Without Flashpoint, V-Force can also be played by downloading the complete Orisinal: Morning Sunshine archives, navigating to the "Restored Flashpoint Curations" folder, using 7-Zip to unpack the V_Force.7z archive, and using a locally installed copy of Adobe Flash Player to launch 0v-force.swf. Note that it will fail to launch if any of the surrounding files are moved or renamed. For users who are more technically savvy, opening it in a debugging version of Adobe Flash Player or in the JPEXS Flash Decompiler may help with troubleshooting or reconfiguring the game.
