Game Title

Before a level starts the player has to choose the plane he wants to fly with
For level one there will only be one plane available
In higher levels the player is able to choose one out of three planes
The planes have different speeds
That also means, that the player has more lifes in higher levels, because he is able to choose another plane if the first plane is destroyed
The player will destroy his plane if it hits an enemy or the ground and also if he flies to far into the space
The player is able to fly throught the end of the screen
Enemies will automatically spawn in several waves
Enemies bounce off the end of the screen
Completing a level means to eliminate all enemies
From level to level the enemies will spawn faster and more enemyies will spawn at once

The plane flies straight with a constant speed by default
The player is only able to control the direction and not the speed of the plane
The plane can be moved up and down with a constant turn rate
"Joykstick down" pulls the nose of the plane up
"Joykstick up" pushes the nose of the plane down (as in real planes)
"Button 4" is used to fire with your laser weapon
It's only possible to shoot once, otherwise the weapon will overheat
If you pick up the powerup, you can shoot multiple times with a smaller reloading time
