How to play

• You control a ship which flies in space.
• Avoid asteroids, enemy shots and enemies themselves which cause destruction of your ship.
• Shooting asteroids, enemy ships, bombs, etc. gives you points.
• Shooting decreases your energy which, in turn, slows down further shooting and ship moving.
• Pick up the "E" bonus to charge ship energy.
• Pick up the "S" bonus to activate shield of the ship for 10 seconds. The shield protects the ship from destruction.
• Pick up "life" (small ship) bonus giving you extra life.
• Pick up "ship upgrade" (ship of another shape) bonus which makes energy of your ship more durable.
