Albedo

On the planet Albedo, a man called Dick is holding a tournament. Those who master all the levels, will learn a secret.

The player's avatar has a nice spacesuit, as well as magnetic shoes. These are handy, as they allow the player to run not only on the floor but also on the walls and the roof. An alternative to running is a jump, which lets you drift (and turn) until you reach the other side of the screen. Your only gun is shooting some kind of laser, presented as a line, which is reflected from the walls.

There are four basic levels which have to be mastered, which means a given score has to be reached before the other levels open and finally Dick can be reached. The levels vary in the form of the walls, some are more circular, others more like a rectangle. The enemies are different in each level and can attack with sheer size (Grok) or a number of small enemies (Virus).

Four separate two-player levels can be chosen, which can be played as a death-match. If no second player is around, the computer can control player two.
