[edit] Story

Publisher's summary: Aliens have invaded a vital subterranean mining colony. Fly a prototype fighter through impossible caverns to rescue miners and blast the aliens into the darkest pits of space!

[edit] Gameplay

The game places the player in control of a spacecraft in an isometric projection view in a de facto 2D environment and played like the Strike series created by Electronic Arts in that players had to complete mission objectives to pass levels. The player had to fight aliens and gravity in order to rescue the miners, pick up parts for his spacecraft and defeat certain bosses in order to beat the game.
