The author originally created this game inspired by "XPilot" (External link).
So he was going to code for "2P combat style". However, the development was discontinued.

The game screen:

Pros:
• It has higher resolution ( 640 x 512. Not lower resolution such as 320 x 256 ).
• The red line from the center of your ship shows which direction that your ship accelerate.
• The length of that red line means how much your ship is accelerating.
• It shows fuels remained as a vertical bar beside your ship if you want .
• Respawn turrets.

Cons:
• The 2nd player isn't available. You have to play the game as 1 player style.
• There are neither sound effects nor music.
• Simple graphics. There's no tiles for backgrounds.
