An obscure puzzler released by Ubi Soft back in 1988 and only released for this platform. Never heard of it before and am surprised to say it's quite good!

The objective is to get your helicopter to collect the correct amount of disks. You need not collect them all, as some are red herrings and impossible to reach. Once collected, the base that you emerged from flashes red and is a portal to the next level.

Boxes with red flashing lights contain the remainder of disks for said level, but are sometimes a trick and leave you with nothing, so you must die and start again.

Shoot blue balls (haha) that serve as obstacles. Yellow balls can be pushed by shooting to explode mines and block Firing Pods from shooting at you when you fly over them. A disk is lost if it hits a mine.

The grey blocks can be lifted with your magnet (space bar activates it) and dropped into water (fire button) to serve as platforms.

You can also push deflectors, which come in handy for destroying the giant imprisoned astronauts (or whatever they are) that appear on every tenth level. This must be done to proceed.

Springs (move when shot) can bounce objects and other springs to help you along.

The enemies I've encountered so far are Firing Pod, Robot Bird (follows you when shot at close range), Red Spring (moves one step toward you when shot).

Sound cuts off for some reason between 8:22 and 9:00. Sorry bout that!

Will upload more levels once I've figured them out...
