Fight waves of aliens, survive intense battles and meteor storms, defend the center of the screen with limited ammunition, and use destructible asteroid shields against aggressive alien hunters.

Ammunition is limited, so every shot matters. • Chapter 4 – Fight one or two intelligent hunters while enemy fire gradually destroys the asteroid shields protecting your shuttle.
