Introduction

I acquired this game for free during the Sega 60th Anniversary sale. I decided to get back to it later. This game is basicly a 2D space shooter game, like something you would typically see in an old school arcade. Definately a decent time killing, pixel annihilation game.

Ratings are appreciated!

The Controls

This is where I got stuck. I quickly determined that you use the arrow keys to fly around and dodge stuff, and that was it. I went digging into the game menus. You will want to go into the options menu on the main screen.

Click on Options as shown above.

When your in the options menu, look for the Input menu. When your in the Input menu you will see the default controls set up for your PC. You modify the controls in this section, or just use the defaults like I did.

Click on Input as shown above.

The Storyline

When you return to the main menu and click play, a graphically entertaining yet annoyingly persistent loading screen will pop up going into a background story for the game. You can either suffer and wait, or you can press ESC when enough is enough.

The Storyline screen as mentioned above.

Game On!

Now that you know the controls, you can fly around shooting at random 2D spaceships and dodging them. You apparently get 3 attempts to fly, shoot and stay alive. You get coins for shooting at particular targets. This is about as far as I have gotten, and I'm passing the virtual spaceship to you!

My final attempt, for now.

Game Over.

I've seen this screen quite a bit. It inspired the creation of this guide. I hope it helps you out so you don't see it as often! Good luck, fly safe!

The Game Over Screen

Another First!

This is the first guide that went up on Steam for this game. I don't always go looking for guides, but I wanted to know how to actually play this game instead of seeing the Game Over screen on repeat. When I didn't find a guide, I found answers on my own and decided to throw up a quick guide for the next guy as bored as I am to put some time into this game.

It is possible that this guide is the first because there may not actually be a game hub for this game, as it was more of a promotional giveaway. The game doesn't even exist in the Steam store at the moment, so I linked this guide on the discussion forums for the game.

Thanks for the input man!

well, ain't it a deserted hub, here's my insight in the game, if you kindly add whatever you consider relevant:

-The objective is to destroy the orbs around the map

-Orbs give you 1000 coins, any other ship gives you 100

-The minor ships will drop coins only after beating the squad (ex. in the first stage if you beat the only mine ship, it drops coins, beat the two criss-cross battleships, the last one drops coins, beat the two crawlers at the bottom, drops coins, beat the three scout ships, drop coins)

-it seems that after destroying a certain number of orbs (looks like three or four), a shop token appears which takes you to the upgrades screen, once you finish and exit the shop, you get a inmmune shield for a couple of seconds so you can get back safely to action

Mr. Slenderman 10 Feb, 2021 @ 10:42pm

-Gameplay is arcade style, so expect unforgiving difficulty, for example, enemies start appearing at a low rate, but as the time goes (doesn't matter if you're destroying orbs or farming ships) the number of enemies in-screen will increase

-The strategy that was the mos useful for me (I don't really play shoot'em ups, so no pro tips here) is to farm as many coins I can in the first stage, then destroy a fwe orbs enough for the shop token to appear, and buy me the homming missiles (I reckon a movement upgrade is a vital too) game starts to be more interesting once you don't need to manually shot every ship.

-I have only beaten 2 stages while dying on the third boss, don't know how many stages there are

Ill try to play a bit more in the next days, but guess that's good enough for anyone who wants to start kicking asses in the game
