According to the inlay card, you are attacked by the Devil Bird. You can fight back by firing your laser gun at it.

In fact, in this 100 per cent Basic game, the Devil Bird is a randomly moving sprite and your ship is the traditional laterally moving base. Since there is only one Devil Bird on the screen at once, it moves swiftly, although very jerkily. The base responds very slowly and so you feel frustrated as you desperately try to dodge the deadly ray. When you blast five Devil Birds, you go on to the next screen to meet another bunch. The best I managed was three, due to the slow control responses.

Screen layout is good and sprites are well defined. However, the incredibly powerful graphics and sound capabilities of the Sord cannot be fully exploited by the rather simple Basic-I and this fact becomes painfully obvious in this game, which attempts to emulate an arcade game. As it is totally unprotected, you might like to study how it's written, but at £5.95, I can't recommend it very highly.
