How To Play

From the title screen, press :joyfire: to get to the game's options menu. Using the joystick, select the number of players and number of ships you wish to use in the game and press :joyfire:. Next, choose the level of difficulty, between NOVICE or EXPERT, with the joystick and press :joyfire:.

The aim of the game is to collect all of the energy nodes arranged on the grid (aka “Rack”) without getting blasted by the border guns (aka “FUZORS”), or run into the border guns. If either of these things happen, you lose a ship. Use the joystick to move and fire your gun with the :joyfire: button.

If you shoot the border guns, they will freeze in place for a brief time. Try and collect the energy nodes before the “Skip-A-Rack-Timer” runs out. If you do so, you skip a level. Shoot bonus items for extra points and avoid or shoot the swirling vortexes. If you run into them, they will hold you in place for a brief time.

Press the :cbmkey: key to switch between FAST and SLOW moving speeds.
