The planet is under siege from an alien with bizarre arsenal of weapons including bullets, bombs, lasers, squids, shurikens and boxing gloves! You must dodge wave after wave of challenging obstacles all while fixed in a 360-degree orbit around the alien spaceship. The battle can never truly be won, but with 50 objectives to complete, you’ll have a lot more to do than chase highscores.
