Hmmm, the minigame in Might and Magic 8 is identical to this... Does credit for its design truly go to Nemecek's Ants? I wonder which was published first...
I'm either the first stupid person in the last 8 or 9 comments, or the first to admit the truth: this game is challenging. I like it, but I won't play it again - there's no point!
read the game instructions, phoenix. they're just above and to the left of the player comments.
cool game, neat idea, annoying music. if the first ten levels are any indication of the difficulty curve of the rest of the game, then methinks the hard badge should be insane.
in case you don't realize: when you destroy those clouds, sometimes circular areas remain. leave your ship inside them and shoot, and see what happens.
