Deploy a Laser Cannon from the bottom of the screen to destroy waves of colorful demons on the ice planet Krybor. Shooting enemies causes them to either respawn or split into two smaller targets, forcing players to manage increasing chaos. Surviving these bizarre movement patterns allows for single-player or two-player multiplayer combat against incoming bombs and lasers.
