It was presented in the NEO Spring Coding Compo 2006 (NDS Games, 3rd place).

User guide

The goal to shoot down the aliens while trying to survive and complete the level.

The level changes when you reach a certain score and there is a boss at the end of each level.

Powerup

If you shoot the enemies before they reach the bottom of the screen or collide into you, it will fill up the blue energy bar in the bottom right corner.

When the energy bar is filled a powerup will appear. There are three types of powerups that can be changed by shooting the powerup.

• Health - Fill your health up.
