There are three lives in reserve, weapons like laser or plasma, three atomic bombs and acceleration for emergency cases. Collect points and get extra life. There are multiple worlds to unlock, option to switch between a laser and plasma gun, using bombs and escape with high speed power up when needed. The gameplay feels right. It's natural and quite satisfying. Definitely a good choice for short sessions. Easy to pick up and play.
