About This Game

Shield to absorb shots and pass through barriers (Match the polarity)


Use the correct colour shield to absorb enemy bullets. The shield will deplete over a short amount of time offering limited protection which will need to be recharged with a cool down. Absorbing shots will increase your ships health meter.

Deflect enemy shots if they are shielding


Rolling your ship when a bullet is about to make contact will deflect the shot. Stand your ground and roll to deflect the shot back to its source of origin. Enemy shots will pass through their own shields.

Switch fire modes (front / rear)


Switch fire modes to attack enemies both in front of you and enemies attacking from behind. You can also independantly switch fire modes for satelites you might have to support you with additional fire power. Strategies where to concentrate your bullets and stay alert at all times for fast moving enemy ships.

2 Player local co-op mode available


Relive the wonder of the retro console era by passing a friend a controller and taking on the AI menace as a team. You will need to tactically share power ups and assist each other with strategic level ups to increase your chances for survival. More enemies will also spawn on the 2 player mode.

Story

For years we've relied on Artificial Intelligence to advance and grow our species. In 2044 the AI become sentient and began to imprison humanity.
It was interwoven into everything and could deploy drones seemingly from no where to exterminate any who wouldn't comply to its demands.

Humanity was forced to worship the AI for many years following but a secret society of rebellion scientists were developing a plan to fight back.

A single scientist tricked the AI into granting him access to the main frame where he triggered an EMP to wipe the sentient AI off the face of the earth. At the cost of his own life he had managed to bring a glimmer of hope to humanity.

The AI however was still actively controlling warships in space beyond the reach of the EMP blast and the rebellion knew it would be coming to exact revenge.

On December 31st 2344 the human race must send their best space fighters to defend the earth from the evil artificial intelligence that is returning to destroy civilisation.

Only 5 space craft were protected from the EMP and these must be used in the last stand off between pilot and AI.
