Description

Similar to Galaxian, you play as a vertical ship, firing single single shots into rows of enemy ships. The ship begin to descend upon you firing back, while they move left right. If you do not destroy an enemy ship, it reappears at the top of the screen, either joining the remaining ships, or continuing to fire down on you as it descends until you or the enemy ship is destroyed. There is an energy bar along the bottom of the screen, slowing draining as you play each stage. If this energy bar runs out in a round, your ship explodes and you loose that ship.When powered up, the graphics on screen slowing sway left and right, and makes up the title Star Attack. The pieces look like small USA flags, red, white and blue in color, and have a star in the blue left edge.
