You control a battle tank (the Rotor) which hovers in a 2D-labyrinth. Gravity pulls heavily on the Rotor, making it fall towards the ground. Any contact with walls or enemies is deadly so your main task is to rotate your tank freely and accelerate via an afterburner, thus manoeuvring through the corridors. Imagine a mix of Asteroids and Lunar Lander to get an idea. Scattered throughout the 18 different fortresses are boxes. Shoot these open to find either - Fuel: Refuel your tank which is drained by shooting and accelerating. - Sun crystals: Collect all to finish the mission. - Bombs. They will explode in random times. Avoid that by leaving the screen quickly or by picking the bomb up. This earns you major credits, but your ship drops much faster due to increased weight. - Pearls. Collecting these advance the upgrade counter. Activate the current upgrade at any time will improve your specs. Boxes are emptied by carefully flying very close to them and activating a tractor field.
