Some people have bad jobs. Take this freighter pilot I know, he has to fly needed medical supplies to some far off planet. Not only that, but the path he will be traveling is riddled with asteroids. To compound the problem the bobo empire has claimed that area of space and has installed a fleet of automated defence drones. He will be lucky to make it there alive.
Yup, some people have bad jobs. Then there are those who have worse ones. Like you. You are assigned to guard the freighter and make sure it gets there in one piece.
You are in a typical vertically scrolling top-down shooter environment. However, your goal is not just to survive. You need to protect the freighter that is traveling with you.
You will need to defend yourself against asteroids and the gunfire of enemy drone ships.
A progress bar at the bottom of the screen shows you how much further you need to travel to get to your destination.
If you get to your destination and both you and the freighter are alive, you win.
If you or the freighter die before getting to your destination then you loose.
The freighter has a set number of hits that it can take. You have a much smaller number of hits you can take, however you have three lives.
A display at the top of the screen will show you how much more damage you and the freighter can take and how many ships you have in reserve.
Good Luck.
