Phoenix Description

A spaceship which moves left and right horizontally at the bottom of the screen must destroy bird-shaped spaceships, birds, and finally a mothership at the end of each level. The player's ship is equipped with a shield that requires seven seconds to regenerate before it can be used again.

Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter Eggs

This trick has to do with the birds as seen on the first board. As they are flying away from you in a diagonal direction (that is, when they spread their wings), shoot three within two or three seconds for a 200,000 point bonus. Normally, these birds only score 200 points each. This trick will work on any board with those kinds of birds. The easiest board is the second one because of your ability to rapid fire.
