Game instructions

Fly with your ship through gates and zap all the aliens with your laser. Avoid collision with gates and aliens and keep an eye on the fuel amount ( you will get extra fuel if you fly between the gates ) and laser temperature. You can avoid collisions by flying higher, but in this case you will not get any fuel and cannot hit the aliens. Head-up display will dim if you are too high.

You will need java 1.1 enabled in your browser to play this game ( Netscape 4.06 and up is fine ). You will also need fast machine to handle all the animation.

Use following keys to steer the ship:

• Arrow keys - moves ship left, right, up and down.
• Space - shoot.
• S - toggle sound.
• P - pause game.

When your last life is out, you will see highscore submission panel. Enter your name there , and press "Save Score" button to submit your achievement into hall of fame ( it will open new browser window, where you will see your placement ). Press "Play again" button to start a new game. Since Netscape likes to take input focus away from applets, you will have to click with a mouse inside applet. Press "Show score" button to see highscore list.

Extra ships are available at 20000 and 50000 points. Then every 50000. Good luck!
