This multi-part space game was developed by Reflections, the team behind Shadow of the Beast. The plot involves traversing a hostile galaxy despite a lack of funds and firepower. To reach each planet, the player must progress through numerous action sections, beginning with aerial gunfire at meteors that shatter into smaller and smaller blocks. A scanner roughly indicates their position. This is followed by a shootout with an enemy flying forward and backward, followed by the final approach to the mall, where the player advances on foot from a bird's-eye view. Contact with enemies wastes time rather than energy. The player has 3 attempts to reach the mall on time. Once a planet is reached, trading comes into play: Strategically purchasing the right equipment to boost the ship as well as additional shields and firepower (which can be adjusted depending on the next level).
