Another version of the "birds flying at you while you try to shoot them" game and, to be truthful, I'm getting rather tired of them. This one features three screens. The first is the swarm; the second, eggs and eagles - which carry on flying even after you have shot both wings off - and the third is the master alien. You have left/right, fire and shield keys.

The game has plenty of action and good graphics, but there are no real surprises. One major criticism is about the ordering of screens and levels. This is fully explained on the inlay, but is illogical. It seems that only allowing a single shot on the screen at a time makes a game more difficult than allowing any number of them. But here the order is reversed so you have first to survive an attack with only one shot at a time then the next screen allows you several!

It may be that this is done for a reason. If so, please explain it to me. If not, then it is both illogical and undesirable.
