Engage in vertically-scrolling combat to combat the mutant entity N and the hijacked God System. This shooter tasks the single player with weaving through dense enemy formations and projectiles to survive the ecological aftermath of the 7-Day War. Success requires precise movement to dodge incoming fire while clearing screens of hostile machines produced by the rogue supercomputer.
