The Duct
========

You are in control of a buggy travelling down a series of tunnels. You view the tunnel from behind the car as the tunnel and its myriad hazards zoom past you. 

The ducts are occupied by two main sorts of danger, aliens and barriers. The aliens zoom towards you and deplete your limited supply of energy when they collide with you.
The aliens can be shot with the laser that is fitted to the front of the car. The barriers are themselves of two types which are those that move around the circumference of the duct and some that stay in one position. The barriers can either be dodged around by rotating the duct or you can jump over them by pushing up on the joystick. Collision with barriers also depletes your energy. 

Energy can be replenished by driving into the spheres with an E on them which appear periodically throughout the tunnel. The fuel supply in your car is also limited and this is replenished by jumping into the letter F's elevated on top of a pole. If you run out of fuel or energy then the game ends.

Eventually you will reach the end of the duct where you drive the buggy into a hole that takes you to the next level. Your energy and fuel are replenished and when you enter the next duct things gradually get more and more difficult. The time limit and score are shown in the top right of the screen with the energy and fuel gauges below them.
