Your mission:
- Do not let any enemy ships get past your fighters! Each enemy ship that makes it past the bottom of the screen will attack the Chromium, and you lose a fighter.
- Use your fighters as weapons! Crash into enemies to destroy them before they can get past you.
- Strategic suicide is a powerful tactic! When the Chromium launches a new fighter, it releases a high energy burst which destroys all enemies in range.
- Self-destruct to preserve your ammunition! A double-right-click will cause your current fighter to self-destruct. Before the ship blows up, it ejects its ammunition so that the next fighter can pick it up.
Ammunition, Power ups and Items:
- Machine Gun:Otherwise known as the 'pea shooter'. But you'll miss 'em when they're gone.
- Shield Replenish: The penguin protects you. Grab this power up to restore shields to 100%.
Let it pass through for big points.
- Ion Cannon: This gun slices through your enemies and keeps on going.
- Damage Repair: The penguin gives you life. Grab this power up to repair all damage to your fighter.
Let it pass through for big points.
- Plasma Repeater:Your most powerful weapon. The plasma ammunition runs out quickly, however.
- Super Shields/Extra Life: Restores shields to 100% and gives you temporary invulnerability.
Tip: If you let it pass through the bottom of the screen, you will be rewarded with an extra fighter.
