Collect coins and try to stay alive as long as possible in this fast-paced arcade game! Your mission is simple: Collect all the Coins in the level to win. But it's not as easy as it sounds! All those spiky enemies are coming your way and you have only one life! They touch you and it's game over. But wait, you can find some help in the maze, too! Get the Magnet power-up to speed up Coin collection and pick up a Shield to get some invulnerability time. And if you prefer a more aggressive approach, get that Shield and crush right into the enemies! Pro tip: Collect a total of 1 million Coins and get the shiny golden Crown :)

In the distant future, Earth was attacked by an alien enemy known as xenomorphs. They used their technology to infiltrate Earth and take over. However, a hero emerged who decided to defend his planet. He gathered a team of other survivors and went into space to find a way to defeat the aliens. Our hero pilots a spaceship and must destroy enemies using various weapons on board. The player's goal is to protect Earth from alien invasion and save humanity. Rules: dodge collisions with alien ships, earn 5 points for each maneuver. Star dust clouds are our helpers โ€“ they help us hide from the aliens, and you get 30 points for flying through them.
