Description official description
Aliens have been raiding Earth and abducting its population. Destination: to be transported to their native planet and become a source of food. Your mission is to oppose them and bring the fight back to their home world and stop the onslaught. Gunstar is a vertical scrolling shoot 'em up that spans four levels of play, beginning on earth and journeying through space, to the extraterrestrial base, where the player will have to confront the alien overlord. Your craft is equipped with a basic missile system, and throughout the levels upgrades can be obtained. There are also energy capsules to gather to power up your smart bomb that damages everything hostile on screen. Apart from lesser alien vessels, you will be encountering boss aliens with more complex attack patterns, also requiring a lot more damage to take out. The game features a point system and high scores will be saved onto the high score table.
