Official description

Your Space Fighter is suddenly engulfed in a cloud of radioactive particle and transported to another time zone. You find yourself in the lair of the Rigonites, a race that inhabit the game grids destroying transported craft for their pleasure.

Luckily you are armed with the latest Photon Blaster to help you in your fight for survival. The longer you survive the more numerous and deadly the attack waves become.

To complete an attack wave you must destroy all the enemy craft using your Photon Blaster before your time runs out and the Rigonites activate their most deadly weapon of all, the 'Matter Zapper', which will cause immediate destruction of your fighter.

You should also avoid the deadly force fields and alien fire in order to preserve your three precious lives.
