Pickup cows and launch them at your enemies in this endless bi-directional arcade shooter. Enjoy full freedom of flight by changing directions, flying low, or taking to the skies as you dodge and destroy enemy ships. But don't just shoot mindlessly, because you're not firing traditional ammo. Only the propulsion gun on your ship is working, and the only projectiles in the vicinity are the cows grazing below. You must dive low and use your tractor beam to abduct unsuspecting cows to use as bullets. The aim of the game is points in this fast paced arcade shooter. But, to get the high score, you will need to make the most of each cow you fire by first grabbing as many bonus energy orbs as you can. Your total orb count will determine the number of points you receive for each enemy kill. But, don't wait too long between picking up orbs, or your orb count will drop back to zero. This game is addictively fun, and anything but easy. See if you have what it takes to master the skies and make it to the top of the Game Center leaderboards.
