Plot

You have just seven days to prevent Dr. Destructo from carrying out his evil plans and launching a massive global attack.

Your mission is to destroy the Dr. Destructo and his island stronghold in just seven days. The buildings and fleet of the Destructo Empire are destroyed from the impact of shot down air and space craft, or by the bomb which is allocated to each player per screen. Each impact will remove a small section of the ship, island or building. When the missing sections amount to a gap through to the base, a leak is created and a water spout is formed. Most objects need three leaks in order to be successfully destroyed.

Game Play

You control an airplane - and the aim of the game is to sink every ship/island/building and keep going until you win the game. You have a bomb you can deploy per level which does some damage to the object you are trying to sink, the rest of the damage to sink the object comes from shot down aircraft debris. You have unlimited firepower in which you need to shoot and shoot and shoot! Avoid collisions with some aircraft becasue they will kill you. Some aircraft can also kill you after they have been shot down. Also, some aircraft drop bombs, so watch out for the explosions.

Generally you need at least 3 leaks to sink the object. Once it sinks, you move to the next level. The screens gradually change from day to night and remember you only have 7 days! 1 or 2 players.
