Description
About This Game
For millennia, humanity has endured a tumultuous journey marked by strife, conflict, and self-destruction. After finally learning to coexist with nature and each other, a new, unprecedented threat emerges - one from beyond the stars.
The origin of these extraterrestrial invaders remains shrouded in mystery, but one thing is clear: our survival hinges on our ability to confront them head-on.
A brave team of skilled scouts sacrifices everything to pinpoint the location of the alien stronghold. Meanwhile, tireless scientists labor day and night to enhance our most significant invention yet - a teleportation device capable of delivering our warriors directly into the heart of the enemy's lair.
But the true challenge lies ahead. Our heroes must infiltrate the alien base, gathering crucial intelligence that could mean the difference between victory and annihilation.
Now, the fate of humanity hangs in the balance as our brave fighters prepare to breach the enemy's defenses, armed with nothing but determination and the hope for a brighter future.
During the game, you must destroy lurking enemies — or avoid or take them over — find and use hidden aids, destroy, deactivate, and avoid different kinds of gates, get through enemy waves, and be patient, accurate, and quick when needed. You will also test your memory in the labyrinths.
Do not forget to collect the missing pieces of the enemy base blueprint on each level to reach the next one and unlock new spaceships!
You can select from 3 difficulty levels: Practice, Normal, and Classic.
In Practice difficulty mode, you have checkpoints saved to continue from a given part of a level, and 5 lives to complete each level
In Normal difficulty mode, you have 3 lives to complete each level
In Classic difficulty mode, you only have 3 lives to complete the whole game
The game now has a Leaderboard as well, but only Normal and Classic mode results participate — sorry ;)
Spoiler Alert!
The game features a physics-based movement system, so your spaceship moves with a bit of inertia. It may take some time to get used to it and figure out how to avoid or overtake, for example, enemy missiles — but don’t give up, it’s worth the effort, I promise ;)
Precision and accuracy are also key to progressing through the levels, and you will need stamina too: in Normal difficulty mode you only have 3 lives to complete a single level, and in the good old Classic mode only 3 to finish the whole game!
