==Gameplay Mechanics==
'''Journey of the Prairie King''' is a top-down shooter, resembling [https://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Shoot_%27em_up#Types|"twin-stick"]] shooters such as "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/:Smash_TV |Smash TV]]". {{Key|W}}{{Key|A}}{{Key|S}}{{Key|D}} moves the character and {{Key|↑}}{{Key|←}}{{Key|↓}}{{Key|→}} shoots. The player can move and shoot diagonally by combining two keys (e.g. W and A together move up and left diagonally).
You start off with four lives (shown as "x3" in the upper left), and your character is instantly killed if he is touched by an enemy or projectile. Losing your last life (when the counter changes from "x0" to "x-1") results in a Game Over. In each level, a timer bar counts down at the top of the screen while waves of [[#Enemies|enemies]] appear from the edges of the screen and move towards you. Enemies stop spawning when the timer bar has counted down all the way, and the level is completed when all enemies are defeated, allowing you to move to the next area.
