I had hoped that this sort of game had disappeared now that the Electron is nearing its first birthday but no. This is a simple copy of the swooping invader type of game and whilst I'm sure that there are fans of such games who might want to buy the game for their Electron I cannot really recommend this version.

The aim is to destroy as many of the swooping birds as possible but every time you clear a sheet there is another wave to defeat. The birds have the obligatory waving wings but apart from that they might aw well be called flying blobs.

The animation is smooth and the screen appearance is probably its best feature but in no way does it use the sophisticated graphics and sound that this machine can support. To be fair to the company they do include a 'screen shot' so you can't claim to be surprised if you don't like it. Died in the wool arcade alien bashers might like this sort of game but it is thoroughly unremarkable in almost every way.
