Andy Green is an incredibly talented artist that creates some magical artwork on the ZX Spectrum. His talent knows no bounds as he defies the limits of the ZX Spectrum and the legendary colour clash. He has created new loading screens for classic games and even for new homebrew. This video shows everything so far (24/5/2022) and it totals of over 140 screens.
All these wonderful screens are accompanied by 5 great tunes from some very talent musicians.

Below is a quick rundown on how I found the game and my own experiences. This might be different to yours but by all means comment below and let me know what you thought of the game.
Good Points
Works on all Spectrum models
A good base to build upon if the devs want to update it
High Scoreboard
You can select the difficulty level
Each level has an objective
Bad Points
No 2 player mode
No music on 48k machines
Very little music on 128k machine
Final Verdict
A good base to build on but as it stands its lacking in certain areas like music. Maybe it needs a few more games modes and also a simultaneous 2 player option.
Graphics 6/10
Sound 2/10
Playability 7/10
Overall 6/10

While this may not be most peoples favourite shooter on the ZX Spectrum I quite liked this game on the original release. The SCL version takes the bad 48k sound away and adds glorious 128k AY sound effects and music taken from the Amstrad CPC port.
In the game you can build your ship into a mech robot and each part that's added will upgrade the weaponry. If you find holes on the planet surface and go down them then you can also travel underground which changes the game into a more traditional shooter.
Graphics are not too bad although sometimes the background can mask the bullets making it difficult to see if anything is coming at you.
It’s a very challenging game that may frustrate some people but if you keep going I think you should get better at it.
All in all it's not a bad shooter but an above average one that should give you a few hours of enjoyment.
