- Dodger: GOD. I hate this f*%ing, stupid Fish!
- Experience an uber fantastich mix: A mix of arcade action and lightspear-throwing simulation.
- Battle a diverse legion of gargantuan bosses: Exploit their weaknesses and smash them into pieces.

- Rave to a bombastich space-soundtrack: Ranging from electro-space marches to vibrating sounds of technocumbia.
