Gameplay

The green ring around your ship indicates your "force field" or life bar - if it gets too small you will die and get a GameOver. One button shoots your standard gun and the other button fires the alternate weapon that sends a burst out in all directions. Pressing both buttons together will fire a forward-concentrated burst. The alternate fire modes are limited by the amount of coins you collect. Total coins collected is indicated by a bar at the top right of the screen.

The bar below the coin bar is your heat gauge (top right). If you overheat you will not be able to shoot until you cool down.

It is a game of survival, space rockets and aliens. There is a radar on which you can see your current position, the planet, asteroids and enemies. If you go past the edge of the play field you will warp to the other side.

You can also build a combo if you destroy asteroids quickly and continuously. You have 4 seconds before the combo is broken. There is a meter for this at the top left of the screen. The larger the combo, the more points it will score.

The bottom of the screen shows you how many enemies and asteroids are left, the weapon power-up that you collected and your current score.

Controller

Ensure that you try out the 4 different control options and find the one that you can use the best. Most times you have to balance your ability to shoot with your ability to dodge.

All controls work for first player only. Wiimote pointed at the screen and Nunchuck is the easiest to use. GameCube controller with Dual Stick option set to "No" is more fun.

On the Classic and GameCube you will be able to use the right analog stick to move the cross hair if Dual Stick is set to YES in the options.

Also note that if you switch the camera to a 3D view, the pointer will not work correctly - use the Tank control option if you are in a 3D camera view.
