Your job is to locate and transport the containers to your base avoiding enemies on your way. Your ship is equipped with a hook to carry the containers. This is a physics based arcade game, inspired on the very early classics such as "Thrust" , "Gravitar", "Lunar lander" and "Solar Jetman" for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) but with a strong Commodore 64 feel on it. Some people would say it's a hybrid between c64 and Amiga.
This game is a "pre-spin-off" (yes i just invented this word) of the magnificent and ultra gorgeous ...
... what? ... you were expecting to read some sweetened description? ... something like the great adventure you are going to embark taking control of one of the most sophisticated space ship the engineers of planet Darsalon have ever created, and facing the enemy defense turrets provided with artificial intelligence that protect the containers filled up with "tidirium" the most expensive and explosive substance in the known universe... ?
how about that? ... still not enough? ...you need some more bla bla? ... why don't you just play the game and enjoy the actual gameplay?
