Gameplay
Various types of invaders (bandits) from a mothership enter the screen in waves, and the player's job is to shoot them using his spaceship at the bottom of the screen. If invaders reach the bottom right part of the screen, then they will steal an item each. The player can activate a shield which makes the spaceship invulnerable for a limited time.
The 28 levels loop, so the game is endless if the player does not run out of lives.
