How to play
Ensure that you try out the 4 different control options and find the one that you can use the best. Most times you have to balance you ability to shoot with you ability to dodge bullets.
The green ring around you ship indicates you "force field" or life bar - if it gets too small you will get a GameOver. One button shoots and the other button fires the alternate weapon that protects the ship. Alternate fire is limited by the amount of rings you collect. Total rings collected are indicated by the yellow circle around the ship.
You weapon over heats when the white circle turns red. If it over heats too long it will lock up and need to cool before you can use it again.
It basically a game of survival. The green dot on the radar is earth which is the center of the play field. Red dots are enemies. White dots are asteroids. The yellow dot is you. If you go past the edge of the play field you will warp to the other side.
You also build a combo if you destroy asteroids quickly.
Controller
All controls work for first player only. Wiimote pointed at the screen and nunchuck is the easiest to use. Gamecube controller with Dual Stick option set to "No" is more fun. On the Classic and GameCube you will be able to use the right analog stick to move the cross hair if Dual Stick is set to YES in the options. Also note that if you switch the camera to a 3d view, the pointer will not work correctly - use the Tank control option if you are in a 3d camera view.
