Game Details

Presumably, the player was a tailgunner of a spaceship being chased by enemies. By moving crosshairs with the joystick, the player's goal was to shoot the chasing ships before they overtook the player's ship. The game ended after 3 or so ships passed you.

In addition to the gun, the player had a shield button as a last resort to stop the enemy ships. Once they hit the shield, the targets would be stunned for a few seconds. Shield use was limited.
