Mad Planets

A space shooter with a twist: instead of the usual fare of invading aliens or hostile ships, you face off against actual planets, complete with projectile moons and a chip on their shoulder. As each attack wave begins, the pissed-off celestial bodies zoom in from afar, brandish their orbiting moons, and try to hurl them at your ship. Planets are protected against your shots, until all their moons are destroyed; at this point, they go mad (visible as a bright orange glow) and attempt to ram you to death. Published in Italy in COM 64 n.13/bis (maggio 1986) and in Europe in Commodore Zone Issue #13.
