Gameplay

The player character controls a spaceship, must navigate mazes filled with aliens while finding the exit. Walls can be destroyed to form paths to the exit, as well as targets that can grant points to the player in addition to allowing access to the exit.[3] The alien enemies constantly seek to destroy the player; they can be temporarily stunned by projectiles into a defensive form, allowing the player to move them out of the way, or defeated with a power-up.[4]
