A real action game this, far too fast for an old stager like me. It is however most attractive and interesting. The aim is to shoot the proton inside the nucleus using the rotational controls and just forward movement. This makes the control fairly simple, although not simple enough for me.

A valuable feature is the option to redefine the keys to any that you wish to use, so there really is no excuse. Chasing you around the nucleus are the electrons, who are very destructive if they catch you with a sideways swipe. What's more, they also speed the whole game up in every respect. Finally, there is the ever-growing piles of debris which encroach on the playing area from both sides.

The characters and graphics can't be described as stunning but they do mean that the game is very fast and furious, which is what makes it so addictive. If you have time to glance to the sides of the screen, there are fuel and temperature indicators. If the heat becomes too much the atomic pile breaks down and you lose another life.
