What counts as success
Clear five enemy waves before losing three lives. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
The playing sequence
- Start and steer.
- Hold Fire.
- Avoid enemy projectiles.
- Clear the final tougher wave to win.
Input guidance
Pointer/arrow movement and held Fire. Start / pause and New round are available. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
One way to understand the rules
Move sideways between incoming shots. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Check the stated objective.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Post-hit protection is temporary. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
