Box Text |
You control a triangular cannon (which actually is a triangle with a slightly flat top) that shoots at a squadron of descending aliens from behind a line of shields, standard stuff there. The twist comes from that when you get hit your cannon is destroyed, revealing you as a little blockheaded man. You then have to run under one of your shields and hit the fire button, which eliminates the barrier but gives you another cannon. Thus you have three "lives" but gameplay doesn't stop or reset when you "die." A pretty good concept that leads to some mad scrambling when the heat turns up. After your cannon is destroyed the third time the ever present "mothership" (which looks more like a cyclopean squid-clam thing with tentacles) flies down to the ground with a very loud siren and attempts to finish you off. At this point your shields are gone and all you can do is run back and forth and try to delay the inevitable. |
