Synopsis
- Humanity nearly got extinguished
by an alien invasion. You are one of the last
fighter pilots.
- Your mission is to make your way
to the big alien mothership and to destroy it!
- Mankind's fate is in your hands,
pilot!
How To
Play
- You have 3 lives at
the start of the game. Hitting an
UFO or rocket will cost you a
live.
- If you still have
lives remaining, you start the
current level from the beginning.
Otherwise, you have lost and must
restart the game.
- A level ends after a
certain time. The levels get
longer and harder of the time.
- In the first levels
you must avoid and dodge
approaching UFOs and rockets.
Another thing you shouldn't hit
are air vortexes. They will cause
you to lose control over your
spacecraft!
- But not all objects
are harmful. Sometimes there will
be shield powerup flying around.
If you hit one, you will collect
it. The next time you hit an
enemy, he will get destroyed. Only
one shield can be equipped at a
time! The status is shown in the
lower right edge (1 if a shield is
equipped).
- Then in the final
level you will encounter the
mighty mothership. The advanced
alien technology will destroy all
shields you may have equipped. The
mothership will shoot waves of
fast rockets. Dodge them! After
some time, the mothership will
need to reload. You can use this
time to fire a shoot (that will
happen automatically). Repeat this
process till the mothership has no
lives left and gets destroyed.
Humanity is saved!
