The game is divided into five stages, and at the end of each battle the boss is waiting for you. Bosses are resistant to missiles and flamethrowers. Theres always a chance that a defeated boss will drop special weapons.
As you advance there are more and more dangerous and sophisticated enemy ships. From shooting there, to dissecting, even to rocket men.
The aircraft has special abilities, and varying fuel consumption. The slope allows you to avoid a collision with an enemy object, and a way to split an asteroid and fly through an enemy ship.
In the course of the game you can drop different items and weapons, and the chance of precipitation increases with the number of ships bombed. This number affects the drop rate of more powerful weapons. The selection of the same weapons increases the number of stems, and the selection of a another type replaces it.
With the start of the third stage of flying asteroids, collisions will result in an explosion. They can be broken down by any weapons, but theres a 7% chance that the capsule will fall with it, activating Rage Mode. The strength of asteroids depends on their size, so large ones makes sense to avoid, unless you have a weapon with high damage potential.
On the fourth stage there are black holes that suck in any object. The force of attraction depends on the distance of the object from the center.
- = Level = -
The level of difficulty depends on the number of enemy ships, their speed, damage, health, the number of dropped items / weapons, the duration of each stage, the size of asteroids and health of the bosses.
