This is a top-down shooter. Your goal is to kill The Final Boss.
At the beginning he is in the middle of the location. After getting some damage he teleports to a random side room (there are 4 of them).
Timer at the top counts time to something that I call "Power Down": when it's ran out player loses one random power. Also when it happens time slows down. You may think that it's FPS drop but it's not :)

*Plot*
You are a Great Space Warrior. You've passed through so many levels and killed so many enemies to meet The Final Boss face to face. And finally you enters the last room...
"*You are very brave Warrior*", says The Final Boss, "*But it's time for you to die. But first I'll take everything you've got, every precious thing from you*".
"*You already killed my family. You destroyed my Homeworld and the whole Galactic Fleet. There is nothing left. It's just me and you and your army*", you reply.
"*Ha-ha-ha! Fool! There is still one thing you forgot. It's your Feel of Progression. Sense of Constant Improvement. I'll take everything you've collected during this mission. I'll take your Powers one by one!*", Boss shouts.
And The Final Boss Fight begins...
