A giant Hydra is threatening planet Earth!

Our only hope is YOU! ...and the most advanced Hydra head hunting spaceship avaiable.
Charge, cloak, fire, think carefully your next move.

Time doesnt run until you make an action. The advanced Magnetoplasmic thruster lets you adjust your thrust at will.

If you turn, shoot or use your Transdimensional cloaking device time will be executed.
If you turn once more in the direction youre going an extreme turning maneuvre that come with extreme inertia results.
Just one turn to the other side and the ship will straighten up.

The specialy designed for Hydra Slayin' Photon Ultragun takes a turn to shoot and 3 turns to recharge.
Transdimensional cloaking is efective against all this dimension threats while is activated. It's nature 
prevents you to adjust your direction during activation. It cannot be activated twice in a row.

PRO TIP: Increase your thruster before cloaking to bypass any danger!

Screen warps horizontally and bounces vertically.
