## Plot

Taking a cue from the popular Star Wars series opening crawl (with its catch phase A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...), the title screen contains the nearly identical catch phrase of A long long time ago. In the year 2999, people from the planet Star Lenion (which is very similar to planet Earth) are under attack from the Bismark Empire.[3][4]

## Gameplay

The player's ship (left) is approaching a group of enemies.

The game is side-scrolling shooter where players must defeat enemy aircraft and depart from their launch pad.

### Items

Blue capsule
Energy is restored up to the maximum.
Yellow capsule
The player's machine would be invincible for a certain period of time. However, hitting the terrain would still destroy the player.
Koala
Grants the player an extra life.
