LEVEL
ONE
|
You
start the game by attacking what appears to be the empty storage
racks of the invading evil empire. The level has two sets of large,
tube-like craft that move across the screen, dropping smaller ships
as they move. The moon moves toward the left as you make your way
through the level. The "claw" enemies constantly stretch their arms,
trying to catch you. For the 5-in-1 red creatures (which approach
you, stop and separate, and then attack en masse), ice storm works
OK (though go with fire if you are able to aim). |
BOSS
ONE
|
Two
giant globes in front of the boss's weak spot move out so you can
shoot in and it can fire a 5-shot burst at you. |
|
Don't
be fooled: they don't really want to give you a hug.
|
|
No
doubt a space forklift
|
|
Boss
one: you can shoot when the orbs move out of your way (as shown).
|
LEVEL
TWO
|
The
second level takes place over an ocean. Some of the enemies come
up from behind you and try to give your ship a big hug, smashing
it in the process. Get between them and their "hands" and blast
the latter. A charged lightning weapon can take them out (but you'll
need an additional shot if you aren't perfectly positioned). The
level is also populated with some annoying flying aircraft carriers
and flying missile platforms. You'll use the speed burst on the
missile ships, which launch their artillery, which explodes after
a bit and then chases after you. |
BOSS
TWO
|
Stay
back, destroy the orbs the boss tries to set on top of you (they
aim lasers at you if you aren't fast enough), and fire at the gold
ball at the far right of the screen. |
|
This
one won't really give you a hug, either.
|
|
These
flying aircraft carriers launch planes to attack you and otherwise
just get in the way.
|
|
The
missile ship launches missiles that explode and then seek after
you.
|
|
Boss
two offers sugar for your tea.
|
LEVEL
THREE
|
Some
giant spider-like mech has been destroying a city, and it's your
task to fly under its body from back to front (or perhaps around
the side . . . it's hard to tell) and eventually take it out. |
BOSS
THREE
|
You'll
need a gun that shoots behind you. Shoot the orb when the front
end of the ship opens up. Eight energy balls will coverge right
about where you need to be in order to get a decent shot. The balls
will turn into a homing shot that you can avoid with speed bursts. |
|
Welcome
to level three. Don't get stomped on.
