Game Description:
Blast off for a sequel that pushes every facet of 2D shoot’em ups to escape velocity! In the aftermath of a brutal attack on Free Space, humanity sends scout ships to the star system that was at the source of the assault. But when one of the pilots doesn’t return home, it’s up to his daughter — the talented starpilot Sabrina — to find him.
