Level introduction
Gameplay
Gameplay is based around shooting fast missiles at incoming bombs that create explosions damaging bombs. Bombs can be destroyed creating explosions and potentially damaging other bombs.
It is important to note that explosions are harmful to the city's infrastructure. If any structure on the surface gets destroyed player has his points cut by a significant amount,
which can make winning the game difficult. Even if no structure gets damaged player still gains minus points for letting any bomb hit the ground. Destroying bombs in the air awards positive points.
Paused game
It is possible to pause the game at any time (after initial introduction) by pressing Esc key. Resuming the game is also done by pressing the same key. From the pause menu there is an option to go back to the menu (left button), replay the level from the beginning (middle button) or go to the next level, if it has been unlocked in the past by beating the current level (right button).
