Taken from the '23 Most Brutally Tough 80’s Arcade Games' list, this is ranked #8.
From KLOV : Your ship the "Wummel" travels through a 9 x 9 grid of yellow squares (the "Crystal City") avoiding and shooting the ten red Targ ramships. Each Targ shot is worth ten points, this climbs to 20 on the second level, 30 on the third, and so on. At random a siren will sound, and the Spectar released into the Crystal City, shooting it scores 100-500 points. Clearing all Targs from a level scores 1000 bonus on the first level, 2000 on the second, 3000 on the third, etc. With each level, the Targs get faster and smarter.
Note :
Beating 10,000 points gives you an extra life. I misinterpreted this.
Beating 10,000 points gives you an extra credit, which is pretty useless.2nd note : That is damn hard to do.
This is still valid.Final scores.
