Classic Mode

This has a simpler game play and modified controls making it more like the 80's retro games.

Tips

• Use smaller and more controlled movements than in other game modes.
• Try and stay away from the edge of the play area whenever possible.
• Listen out for the warning sounds that mean a saucer is approaching.

Meteor Storm Mode

This challenges you to fend off increasingly frequent and dense waves of meteors. Destroy the golden meteors & collect score multipliers.

• Tips

Your ship starts with a fixed amount of energy which cannot be replenished.

• Getting hit reduces your energy but also causes you to drop some of your score multipliers.
• Your weapon power is fixed and cannot be increased.

Asteroid Belt Mode

Here you face snakes of energy that increase in both quantity and length at each new level.

Tips

• Your ship starts with a fixed amount of energy which cannot be replenished.
• The score multiplier is linked to the number of asteroid belts at the start of the current level.
• Your weapon power is fixed and cannot be increased.

Zoo Trials (zoots)

• These are a series of additional challenges. Each zoot can be attempted on any of the four difficulty levels, with harder difficulties contributing more towards your total completion percentage; Easy = 1%, Normal = 2%, Hard = 3% and Insane = 4%
• Only the hardest difficulty achieved counts towards your total, so for the ultimate 100% score you need to complete each of the 25 zoots on insane difficulty.
• Zoots can only be completed in specific game modes so make sure you check these on the zoo trials menu screen.
• The Pause screen shows your progress towards and zoots.
