Twenty-four hours have been stolen by a renegade time-lord. He has hidden six hours on each of four planets. Equipped with your AGXX22 dual rapid-firing laser fighter, you must seek and collect these missing twenty-four hours. Time is of the essence.
Avoid obstacles such as magnets, which will repel or attract you depending on your current polarity indicated by your energy meter. To change your polarity pick up a '+ve' or '-ve' icon to be found at various stages in the games.
Purpose-designed eggs also feature. These allow you to gain extra lives, bonus points and much more. The bonus score will be added if you collect an hour (represented by a clock). Eggs are initially invisible.
Pep pills represented by a star increase your strength, hence allowing you to resist any energy loss whilst colliding with obstacles. The play area inverts while you have this power. It lasts until the bonus score is depleted.
Some ground targets are indestructable whilst others are not. In the air, 'Downers' wi appear in various forms. These can be destroyed with seven laser strikes. Ordinary ships take only one strike.
