Story
You are a lone starfighter pilot battling the evil race of Jalaxans, giant bug-like creatures who have been meanacing the peaceful inhabitants of your solar system.
Playing the Game
Each level begins with you warping forward in space.
After you've dropped out of hyperspace, the aliens begin coming onto the screen and taking their place at the top.
Note: Some aliens are only escorts, and will abruptly turn towards the bottom of the screen and attack! After they've left the screen, they will not come back. Try to shoot them for extra points, and definitely watch out not to get killed!
You control your ship by moving it left and right and firing bullets up towards the aliens.
The aliens move side to side (or in other directions) at the top of the screen and occasionally fly down to attack you. They fire bullets down towards you when they're attacking.
