General
Bugs fly in, you shoot them (3 shots available). Enough said (almost).
The bugs are worth 30-75 points, +50 more if they're diving. Other
targets are also found in the game (you'll have play and see).
Each bug has a personality. One lays mines, one circles back, one homes to your ship, and then there's the mothership (detailed below).

Use the mothership to get double-fire
The mothership features a tractor beam that can be exploited to win a double-shot
award. This sequence shows how to do it:
|
|
|
1. If you have at least 1 life left let the mothership capture you.
If you don't have extra lives then the game will be over.
|
|
|
|
2. With your next player shoot the mothership while it is diving.
If you shoot the mothership while it is in formation you will lose the captured
life. You will then feel dumb.
|
|
|
|
3. A 2-shot bonus award (the big "2") will drop and hover for a few seconds. Capture it!
|
|
|
|
4. Your ship will then become a double-shooter (max 6 bullets at once). You
will also be credited back the life you lost.

Preferences
There is a preference menu available on both the main screen and game screen
called "Settings". Use it to set volume, switch controls (if you're
left-handed), etc.
