Demon Attack Marooned on the ice planet Krybor, you watch legions of eerie creatures scream overhead. They hover ominously. Attack and destroy them - or be destroyed! Armed with your Laser Cannon, you confront the ultimate challenge: Survive! Game Play Objective To score, destroy demons before you and your Laser Cannon meet oblivion. Earn extra reserve bunkers (chances) by avoiding your foes' fire. When the last bunker disintegrates, the next enemy hit will pulverize you! * Your Laser Cannon has unlimited fire power * Dodge left or right to avoid enemy fire while pursuing aliens. * Accumulate reserve bunkers (bottom left of screen). You begin with 3. * Each attack wave you survive completely untouched earns you an additional bunker, to a maximum of 6. * For each hit you absorb, you lose one chance to defeat the demons. * When you have no more reserve bunkers, another alien hit ends the game. * When a low flying demon is hit, a replacement immediately swoops in. * When the high flying demon is hit, it is not replaced until the other one is hit.
