Game Introduction

Up to three people can participate in this game and each player's character has a different color: red, yellow or blue. All player characters are equipped with standard firepower and a special weapon. During each level, all enemies must be destroyed in order to advance to the next. The player character changes name and likeness and receives a new special weapon between levels if all the enemies have been destroyed. The character names and special weapons include Flux, magnet; Tangent, shield; Rebound, boomerang; Kelvin, freeze ray; and Blitz, heat-seeking grenades. Each time a character is damaged, his energy is decreased but there are energy units on each stage that can be collected for additional energy. If a character is destroyed, the player's game ends, but continuous play is still available.
