Another Spaceship Shoot Em Up... But For the Apple II"!"...
Look: 7/10 Great fonts. Technically good sprites. But at this point?....
Sound: 4/10 Mostly just the annoying beeps and boops that I get ticked about. Why not include a song with it?
Play: 7/10 I had more fun with this than I expected, but for all intensive purposes, this is just another shoot em up.

Feel: 7/10 As much fun as I had playing for 10ish minutes, this genre is getting redundant with this formula. What's ironic is, I played this honestly almost 30 minutes, and got further than most games I play, but I dunno--there was just something so mundane about this game. after all these unique gems I've come across in the early microcomputer/console days and "golden age" (questioning that so far tbh) of arcade games. This got a slight boost just because I always like concepts where you go into a body/shrink/etc.
Attachment: 7/10 As much as I respect this, as solid as the gameplay is, and as much as I love the Apple II.... this just isn't it. There's so many other sci-fi themed, also solid, shoot em ups that came and went... and contemporaneous to this game, many more unique shoot em ups, and the roots of action-adventure, budding out. Why spend more time on this? (If you love arcade spaceship shoot em ups, tho, this honestly should be on your list.) Welp, okay, just so that I remember this as an early (if not the first?) videogame based around the concept of shrinking and entering a body... or something akin to that lol.
