Personal review

Flying around in a top-view (hostile) world with a spaceship, your objective is to get away. To get codes to open the "gates" to the following level, you need to capture and drug scientists walking around in shops around the level to get the information. The "shoot'em-up" part of the game is very innovative with its any-direction scrolling and moving things in the background you can collide with.
