A basic shoot’em up, but rather well executed, without screen scrolling. The ship has the ability to fire in bursts and move along two axes; vertical movement is limited to the lower quarter of the screen, roughly, in the style of Gaplus (arcade, 1984), the sequel to Galaga (arcade, 1981).
A radar shows the position of enemies in real time (handy when they pop up behind you). Sadly, it lacks the most fun feature from its model: enemy ship capture!
