Another good crosshair shooter that's like a reverse Missile Command. You're "liberating" planets held by the Malaglon empire. Doing so means that all their bases need to be cleared out before you go on to the next. You have only one fire button here, and the ship that's closest to the reticle will take the shot. Up to four ships at a time will be in play. You also get a shield button.
After fending off a few kamikaze drones, you'll go into a system and liberate its 3 planets. Be on the lookout for UFOs. If one stops moving... take that sucker out quick, because that means it's charging a shield-piercing death ray. As you get further, some planets will launch fireballs (hit them 4 times to destroy). Fireballs are slowed down when shot, but there's also a starball variant that speeds up when hit. Later on, the planet rotation speeds up... and a Master base can change the direction and speed in an attempt to avoid your fire.
