This title had possibility of the highest rating in early freeware inspired by "Thrust".

About movements of the ship, amazingly, there's no difference between this game and C64 game "Thrust". In this game our ship can take a spike ball. And we can hit it against enemies! The spike ball can also disable enemies' bullets, so it also become a shield. After the spike ball is caught in the wall, the wire would be cut. We can take the spike ball again by getting close to it and pressing T key (or "down" after you enable joy2key2 as setting above). What should be specially mentioned is that we can change a length of the wire depend on the distance when we catch a spike ball. For example, to go through a narrow path, we should release a spike ball once, then catch it again at very close range. The wire would be shorter, so we can control both our ship and a spike ball easily.

Level 4

In addition to the narrow pit downwards, there is a propeller on the left wall.  It blows away your ship to the right.  Your ship can't go against that propeller,  so all you can do is go downward at high speed.  Even though, your ship would be blown away to the bottom right.  So you must thrust to the left not to crash into the right wall.  Therefore your ship would move to the point shown as the screenshot on the left.  But it's not enough. your ship still moves to the left slightly.  You should thrust to the right slightly.  This is the toughest scene in this level.

Level 5

You can see 2 holes below the starting point. In the left hole, there are two propellers that suck in air intensely. In the right hole, two propellers would blow away your ship upward. Your choice shall be the right hole against a propellers' blow. To do so, you must thrust downward accelerating from a higher place. In addition, you have to move to the right immediately. Otherwise your ship would blow away upward again! If you want to kill enemies placed at the right corner of the map first, next you must go through this hell scene without death. If you want to challenge this hardest scene first because there is no guarantee that you will succeed, you must go through a return route after you killed enemies placed at the bottom of the hole. Which choice do you want? (No way!!)
