Game scores low as playability is poor, so not much satisfaction. Note though, if you do get through a section - you will re-start at the next stage, not right from the start. I managed to do this after some goes - but the meteorites that ends the second section proved too much. So overall the game is just too demanding, well for me, to enjoy.

Nice looking gfx, but the gameplay is totally unfair. Enemies can destroy you even if you already have hit them. In addition your shots end after a few pixels so that any enemy has to come close to your super slow moving robot, before you can hit him. What a mess. Though the most annoying part is, that you have to start over and over again from the beginning once you have lost a live.
