User guide

Gameplay

Shoot the red formation of enemy planes to receive a "POW" and collect this for different power-ups double shot, wider shot, two side-planes, or a "smart bomb".

Using the roll button causes your plane to loop out of the 2-D action thereby avoiding all enemy shots. You have three rolls per level, but you are awarded a bonus for any that are unused. Hit percentage reports are given at the end of each level.

Game tips

• Get a free plane at 20.000, 80.000 then each 80.000 points.
• Get a power up (POW) by killing a sequence of red planes.
• You only have 3 loops per stages.
• Update your end stage bonus by killing the most planes as possible (up to 90 %).
