The Game

During the game holding the fire button will charge the main weapon. Rockets recharge and are best used in large salvos. While changing direction the players ship is harder to hit.  

 There are icons displayed around the edge of the screen showing the location of nearby enemies, incoming threats and most importantly a flashing RED and YELLOW star. The star shows where the next target is located and needs to be destroyed. Along the top of the screen a message is shown describing the current task that needs completing.  Destroyed enemy ships will occasionally drop health or shield bonuses. Some ground targets when destroyed will release upgrade credits. Most enemies will drop coins that can be spent in between level upgrade shop.  Completing a stage will award the player with bonus points
  
  
Follow the star to succeed!
