To get points, collect the small blue gems the enemies drop when they die. After each wave, you reach a break point. Every fourth stage is a boss fight. There are 3 bosses in total. Supports joystick.

Note: fixed the problem with boss stage frequency.

Public Opinion
Overall Rating: 6.7
  • 7I was given this game as a CH06 present. Since then it came a long way. Your ship is pretty agile, so it's not hard to dodge and you'll be doing it the whole game. Forget about watching statistics, there's no time for it. Just try to shoot the hell out of them and stay in one piece.
  • 6Forget what you know about space shooters, this one is all about insticts. Stand still and your sure to find yourself dead quickly. Destroy your enemy with your lasers and collect your prize. There isn't a HUD in this game and even if there was taking your eye off the enemy isn't the best idea.
  • 7Graphics: 5 (good particle system, though magnetic balls sometimes hard to see through background) Controls: 8 (very good response time, though the enemies come a little fast) It's a very intense game where you have to keep your eye on everything, but well-done.
