You are flying through a tunnel in your spacecraft or tunnelcraft, view from behind, and you must shoot.
The perspective is not much comprehensible, you keep on smashing against the ceiling, the floor and the walls of the tunnel - and I'm not able to target efficiently anything.
It's really really bad.

I didn't have much expectations for this game initially, but my God it turned out to be disastrous. The keyboard layout is atrocious, you press T for up, B for down, F for left, H for right, U for fire and 5 for bomb, just put your fingers on your keyboard at this layout, this does not work today at all. Also, you press 5 for bomb but he also goes down, and if you go down to the bottom you die. And so predictably I struggled, but fortunately I then mapped my keyboard to the Kempston joystick, which it the cursor keys to move and Tab to fire while to bomb you press down and fire together. And so I was able to play the game, and well the laser you have is largely useless and when you go to bomb the items at the bottom you stand a great chance of dying as you move down with it. And so inevitably I just did another game and stood there, only bombing occasionally, and nothing happened except I hit a few things and died by moving too close to the top of the screen let alone the bottom, and then finally an enemy appeared and so we can use our laser. except I died, twice, in quick succession, and it was game over. Just. Like. That. Bollocks to this game, it's crap.
