You pilot the spaceship Defender with the controls. The joystick controls your height. Use Thrust and Reverse to control your position over the world. You must destroy every enemy to advance to the next stage, while defending the Humanoid population from being abducted by Landers. | |||
Your ship can fire a laser, launch a smart bomb that eliminates every visible enemy, or hyperspace. If a Lander abducts a Humanoid, fly over as quickly as possible, destroy the Lander, capture the Humanoid before it hits the ground, and safely return it. If a Lander makes it to the top of the screen with a Humanoid, it becomes a Mutant. If all of the Humanoids are capture, the world explodes and every stage is a Mutant stage until after the next fifth round. All Humanoids are restored after every fifth round. | |||

The Scanner displays an overview of the entire war zone. Your playing area is bracketed. Your lasers cannot kill enemies past the playing area. This Scanner should be constantly monitored. Every character mentioned above, including your Spaceship, will appear as a dot on the Scanner. Each character is also uniquely identified by a different color pattern. The Scanner is your primary tool for locating captured Humanoids and finding the shortest path to the Lander before he takes the Humanoid to the top of the screen and becomes a mutant. For a real challenge, try playing the whole game with the Scanner only. | The Scanner displays an overview of the entire war zone. Your playing area is bracketed.
