Gameplay
You fly through the tunnels of Spider City. The top of the screen shows a close-up of the tunnel you are in, and the bottom shows a map of the whole city, with the hatching pods and the cross-shaped disruptors. To conquer a city you must destroy every hatching pod. Touching a pod releases spider warriors, which you have to shoot before they get away; shoot five from one hatching and you get a temporary shield that lets you destroy enemies just by touching them. Along the way you rescue stranded spacemen by flying into them, and you can freeze a disruptor for a short while by shooting its generator. Each conquered city gives you an extra ship and a bonus, and the next city is harder.
