A very short shooter (four levels) but with unique atmosphere. Initially, you drive a sort of tank that can maneuver and fire in all directions. By pressing the space key, you turn into a flying ship, able to overcome obstacles but unable to go back or reach the ground targets. Strangely, only the first level makes use of this originality.

I was six when I played it. The first time I saw the mid-level boss, he frightened me so much I hastily turned off the computer and ran to my room.
