Game Introduction
Walk and jump around a multi-scrolling cave system. Various spacecraft and aliens attack in waves. When you start or when your energy is low you are a human with kick and punch, but picking up a POW item will give you a robot suit and a gun instead. Collecting the blue POW when in the suit gives you a beam weapon for a limited time, while the red POW gives you a three shot cannon. POW items are found lying around or by shooting the blue robot characters.
A room in the cave has a robot dragon which must be detroyed in order to complete the level.
Game Play
You have an energy bar that decreases when hit. If the bar is below half, the robot suit will be lost and you will only be able to kick or punch. Collecting a POW item will restore your energy. If you have the suit, the POW item does not restore energy, rather it gives you a better weapon instead.
