Official description

Use the joystick to run around the room.
To shoot press the FIRE BUTTON and aim with the joystick.
Your man stops moving while firing.
Hold the FIRE BUTTON down for rapid fire.
Shoot the LITTLE HOPPERS and NASTIES as fast as you can to avoid the crushing walls.
Every couple of rooms is a BONUS ROOM, run over all the points you can (all points are X 100).
Also in the BONUS ROOM are two SMART BOMBS; run over the Bombs to pick them up.
The SMART BOMBS can be used in any of the other rooms.
The SMART BOMBS do two things, first they kill the attacking NASTIES, and second, they stop the crushing walls.

STRAGETY FOR GAME PLAY

In the EYEBALL ROOM, stay out of the middle of the room.
In the SICKLE ROOM, the SICKLES key off your movement when not shooting.
in the CATERPILLAR ROOM, stay off the walls, the CATERPILLARS turn into BUTTERFLIES and fly around the room.
In the CYCLOTRON ROOM, the CYCLOTRONS won't move until you shoot; they key off your movement when shooting.
FACES and HOPPERS are very smart.
BUTTERFLIES are average smart.
When in doubt, SMART BOMB.
