Descpription:
The player pilots a lone fighter ship through a quadrant
of the galaxy, initially blasting away at drifting planetoids to "mine"
Sinisite Crystals from them, which, when harvested, create Sinibombs.
Sinibombs are the only weapon capable of damaging Sinistar. The fighter's
bomb bay can hold 20 Sinibombs. The player creates Sinibombs by shooting
at the drifting planetoids and catching the crystals released.
Each shot makes a planetoid shake, and if too many shots are
fired at a planetoid at too fast of a firing rate, it will cause
the planetoid to explode and no crystals will be released.
At the same time, a planetoid must shake a certain amount to actually
release any crystals. It normally takes between 3 to 6 shots (depending
on the size of the planetoid) to release between 1 and 10 crystals.
Additional crystals can also be obtained from the same planetoid,
as long as the number of shots and firing rate do not cause it to explode.
