Game Details

An alternating two-player space shooter. As a spaceship flies by the top of the screen, it releases aliens that then fill up columns below it. When the columns are filled to capacity, the aliens drop down and must be shot by your ship that moves back and forth along the bottom of the screen.

Aliens also drop from the sides and don't fall into columns. If the aliens fall to the ground without being shot, they send out a charge of a certain length and if your ship is within reach it is destroyed. Your ship can also be destroyed if you fail to shoot one of the spaceships that drops from the mothership down the center of the screen.
