Game Introduction
A girl is stolen by evil doers and taken away in a big spacecraft. You must battle your way through eight levels to reach her.
Game Play
While blasting baddies, you can pick up crystals that can be used to buy special weapons, extra lives, etc.. These shops are at certain points on each level. There is also a bonus game where you can either win a load of crystals or points by shooting at a rotating target. The standard shoot-em-up rules apply. Advance through a scrolling level and then meet up with a big boss, indicated by a change in music from happy to evil. One hit will kill you, but you can either win or buy extra lives.

Trivia
This game is unique because it is reputedly the first to make good use of sprite scaling and massive sprite rotation, something it does in a very impressive way.
