Due to the lack of twin stick controls, the game helps you out by firing continuously, all you need to do is move in the four cardinal points. Each level consists of a wave of enemies followed by a bonus stage. The bonus stage required you to make it across the screen while avoiding the large robots fire and obstacles. Surviving this is a bit random.
It's a simple game, but well coded and ideal for a high score challenge. It features some nice music, the Oric being well known for its sound abilities. Several tunes can be heard, including the theme from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and a nice rendition of Toccata and Fugue in D Minor on the High Score table that makes me want to go and watch the original Rollerball film.
This game was played using one of my real Oric-1 48K machines. The date of play was the 26th February 2023. There are no skill levels and the final score was 4,810 points.
