Descpription:
The game is set around the time of World War I, where the player
maneuvers biplanes, automobiles, animals, and various other
unidentifiable objects to battle an army of mech-wielding scientists.
The player uses the 8-way joystick to control the biplane's movements,
and the 2 buttons to shoot or hook enemies. The biggest characteristic
of the player's biplane is the hook attached to its rear section.
The hook is also controlled by the joystick, and enemies or objects that
come in contact with the hook are dragged along by the plane. Dragged objects
cause damage to anything they collide with, and the player can release
the objects on the hook by pressing the hook button again.
Dragged objects are destroyed when the player releases them
from the hook, or if they collide enough times to break apart.
The ship's power gauge increases when the player taps the shot
button rapidly, and filling up the gauge causes the plane to shoot a
bolt of lightning that covers a large area of the screen.
However, the plane overheats if the player taps the shot
button too many times, so this attack must be used sparingly.
The game's graphics are highly detailed, and many of the backgrounds are likened
to European towns and cities or World's fair-like scenes. Many of the game's
background objects can also be destroyed or dragged around with the hook.
