Destroy the asteroids to clear the stage. Shoot or avoid the enemies that are harrassing you.
Unlike other Space Invaders-type games from the same era, this game allowed you to be oriented at the top of the screen as well as the bottom.
Pressing Warp will transpose you to the top or bottom of the screen. A blue vehicle of some sort will come out during a wave with a number in it. Docking with it once it has stopped moving will give you a bonus as the number goes down towards zero.
