Six stages

Fly through an asteroid belt, an ice planet, an alien hive, a space junkyard, a blazing sun and the mothership itself.

Bosses with patterns

Each stage has a mid-boss and a final boss with several attack phases. Learn the bullet patterns and find the gaps.

Power up your ship

Spread, laser and homing weapons level up to 5. Add wingman drones and shields, and save the Goat Nova bomb to turn every bullet on screen into points.

For every skill level

Easy has slower bullets and extra lives for kids and new players. Hard is a real test, and Survival mode never ends.
