In this game, you are a pilot who zooms across space in a very fast ship. The enemies are also very fast and they want to shoot you. You also want to shoot them and can do so with incredible ferocity. It helps that they are very stupid and leave no mess.
You see, if you hold down "shoot" and scroll back and forth along the bottom of the screen, you'll wipe out more than 80% of the enemies in front of you. The rest will simply need to be dodged. And although there are enemies which later shoot back, some diagonal, the formula remains the same.
Sadly, this is an uninspired game and the biggest twist - if you can stand the boring onslaught of hundreds of the same ships exploding into a small puff with no shrapnel - is that the boss isn't dispatched with regular means. That is, you have to press a previously unused button to destroy it - with no indication that you have to (press F1 in-game to find out which button).
There is a story, but its tacked on and lifeless. It has little to do with the game, and you've seen better games of this type anyway. It could have been more, but the unaltering and extremely monotonous gameplay coupled with the rarely changing enemies and no strategic input results in this not being a disappointment if you don't play it.
