This game is an emulation of a forty-four year old Gameboy cartridge discovered in a drawer in an abandoned office building. Faithfully recreated, it features everything from the original cartridge including:

  • Full sound
  • Score system
  • Advanced rendering

Along with the cartridge, a scrap of an instruction manual was found in an adjacent drawer. It read:

..[Y]ou can control your very own XEBEL 20001 spaceship! Press L and R on [t]he D-pad to maneuver side to side, and press the A [b]utton to laser-bounce off incoming death rays, but don't fall! Co[m]pete against your friends with the ne[w]...

(smudged or missing letters that have been replaced have been marked with a square brackets). The game included a feature that would let players bounce higher by double-tapping the A button that was not mentioned by the remaining section of the instructions manual. 

Controls have been condensed and emulated with:
