A ground-based shoot-em-up by design, the game employs the use of jumping, banking, and strafing as you move forward through 3D tube-like levels. The game is seem from a third-person perspective behind the ship. Some areas place you outside and some inside, but the majority of the game takes place rotating around tubes. This gameplay only differs slightly in boss levels, that allow you to rotate around a central point with no forward motion. You can obtain different power-ups including special weapons, health bonuses and extra lives as you play through the game’s 9 levels. Each level is divided into 2 stages, one on tubes and a boss fight afterwards. Welcome to the 23rd century. The world has been at peace for the last 100 years. Nano-technology has become a reality and disease and hunger have been virtually wiped out by tiny Nano-robots created to serve every purpose known to man. Increasingly sophisticated, the Nano-robots have recently gained sentience and are systematically attempting to wipe out their creators, humankind.
