Your ship the "Wummel" travels through a 9 x 9 grid of yellow squares the "Crystal City" avoiding and shooting the ten red Targ ramships. Each Targ shot is worth ten points, this climbs to 20 on the second level, 30 on the third, and so on. At random a siren will sound, and the Spectar released into the Crystal City, shooting it scores 100-500 points. Clearing all Targs from a level scores 1000 bonus on the first level, 2000 on the second, 3000 on the third, etc. With each level, the Targs get faster and smarter.
