Not bad, a bit too hard. It is VERY similar to Tiger Attack - a game by the same author.

Solid shooter with lots of extras which became a standard on later VG console shooters. It's very hard though, unless you are lucky to collect shields all the way up. Shot power ups are really effective on higher levels and you can have a smart and surface bomb to destroy enemies. Nice music too which can be turned on or off within the game, in favour of sfx. It is way off being bullshit ...
