A basic but fairly well executed shoot ’em up, without any screen scrolling. The ship can fire in bursts and move along two axes, though vertical movement is restricted to roughly the bottom quarter of the screen – similar to Gaplus (arcade, 1984), the sequel to Galaga (arcade, 1981).
A radar shows enemy positions in real time (handy when they appear from behind). Sadly, it lacks the most entertaining feature of its inspiration: enemy ship capture!
Press “Alt” to activate trainer mode.
